What does a Telehealth consultation from an speech pathologist entail?
A speech pathologist is a practitioner that work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in children and adults.
When a speech pathologist provides a telehealth service, may use a combination of informal and standardised tests depending on the needs and ability of the client. Following assessment, a summary or comprehensive report is available and an individualised program is designed.
A consultative approach is taken throughout the assessment in order to take into consideration the needs of the family and goals of other professionals involved. They can help with other health problems too. All this can be conducted over a telehealth appointment.
