How to know what works: Evidence for telepractice and beyond

SLPs are responsible for knowing the research behind our practice—but what if it’s new to you (e.g. telepractice), or what if you’re an SLP generalist covering a broad range of our scope (e.g. most school-based SLPs). This talk will cover the research on telehealth, then follow with how to quickly find relevant research on other topics within the scope of speech–language pathology.
