Abstract
Remote and underserved school districts across the country increasingly are turning to telepractice to meet the communication needs of their students—and finding success. “It’s no secret that rural districts and small districts are having a difficult time recruiting qualified speech-language pathologists,” said SLP Jeanne Juenger, who has completed two successful telepractice demonstration projects in Minnesota. Telepractice, “the application of telecommunications technology to deliver professional services at a distance” (ASHA, 2005), can incorporate a variety of equipment and software configurations, and schools fund its development in different ways.
