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.
