Abstract
CARMENZA-ROMERO, Ana; PINZON-DIAZ, María Camila and MONROY-GOMEZ, Jeison. Benefits of telepractice in the speech therapy approach. Salud(i)Ciencia [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.7, pp.393-400. Epub Dec 10, 2023. ISSN 1667-8682. http://dx.doi.org/10.21840/siic/172536.
Introduction:
Telepractice is a model for the provision of speech therapy and audiological services in which telecommunications technology is used for the purposes of promotion and prevention, evaluation, intervention and / or consultation, due to the pandemic this type of service had significant growth to respond to the health needs of individuals and populations.
Objective:
To describe the speech therapy approach through telepractice in the intervention of communication deficiencies.
Method:
A search was carried out in the databases of Pubmed and American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), search equations were used in English, 28 articles were selected since 2016 and the telepractic categories in audiology were analyzed: telepractic in voice and speech and telepractic in language.
Information analysis:
the use of telepractice has been fundamental to increase the accessibility to speech therapy services for individuals and populations that are in remote areas; as well as in addressing specific deficiencies and in monitoring rehabilitation processes using technology as a tool. Telepractice has made it possible to improve the training processes for parents and caregivers that allow the implementation of therapeutic actions at home.
Conclusion:
telepractice has shown to have similar results to face-to-face approaches, which shows that in the future it will become an alternative for speech therapy and audiological practice. There is a need to increase research to support the use of telepractic, as well as to determine the minimum standards for its implementation.
