What We Do

Pediatric Speech Lab is a professional Speech-Language Pathology company who is expanding its research to incorporate Telepractice.

Telepractice allows the clinician to deliver professional services at a distance by linking clinician to client, or clinician to clinician for assessment, intervention, and/or consultation through technology. It is the position of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) that telepractice aka, telehealth is an appropriate model of service delivery for the profession of speech-language pathology. Telepractice may be used to overcome barriers of access to services caused by distance, unavailability of specialists and/or subspecialists, and impaired mobility. Telepractice offers the potential to extend clinical services to remote, rural, and underserved populations, and to culturally and linguistically diverse populations.

The use of telepractice does not remove any existing responsibilities in delivering services, including adherence to the Code of Ethics, Scope of Practice, state and federal laws (e.g., licensure, HIPAA, etc.), and ASHA policy documents on professional practices. Therefore, the quality of services delivered via telepractice must be consistent with the quality of services delivered face-to-face."
