Creating and Adapting Therapy Materials for Telepractice

Telepractice is a growing therapy model within the field of speech language pathology, yet many clinicians find themselves at a loss when it comes to finding and creating therapy materials. In this session, we will learn how to make the most of the built-in features found in most video conference platforms, how to create new, engaging and interactive activities, as well as how to adapt books and other print resources that therapists may have used previously in therapy. Multiple examples and demos will be given. Additionally, these techniques can be used for traditional onsite therapists interested in using computer based therapy materials.
