Telepractice in Audiology provides practical information to audiologists that enables them to create and deliver a successful telepractice program. Specifically, the book discusses the technological requirements (e.g. video conferencing equipment, remote programming software options, Internet connections, etc.), applications and models of service delivery in Audiology, policy and regulatory issues, and discusses future directions as well. The use of telepractice technology, specifically the Internet and remote programming software, has the potential to improve equity of access to services and reduce the burden placed on families. Program reports, outcomes and publications that are emerging demonstrate the ability to offer sophisticated audiological assessments with reliable outcomes. This book provides the knowledge and skills required to implement a telepractice program that could provide a range of audiological services from diagnostic to intervention and habilitation/rehabilitation. In addition, different models of service delivery will be presented, thus demonstrating the flexibility of a telepractice approach. Telepractice in Audiology is a useful resource for practicing clinicians as well as students training to be audiologists. In addition, teachers of the deaf, speech-language pathologists, IT support persons and other individuals interested in the application of, or endeavoring to implement, teleaudiology programs will also benefit from this book.
