Telepractice

​

'Telepractice' is a term used for services provided virtually. In speech-language pathology, this usually means videoconferencing using a platform that meets applicable privacy legislation (e.g., Zoom Healthcare). There are a number of different platforms that may be used that are compliant with Nova Scotian legislation. Some practices will do both assessment and treatment virtually; some will require an in-person visit for assessment but then provide treatment via telepractice.
