Is telepractice just as effective as in-person therapy for treating speech sound disorders? In this episode, we take a realistic, research-driven look at what the evidence really says about speech telepractice—and what factors determine whether it works.

You’ll discover:
✔️The exact client profiles that are NOT a good fit for telepractice.
✔️The active ingredients that make telepractice sessions as effective as in-person therapy.
✔️Why dose isn’t just about reps—and how complex targets create massive gains.
✔️Brand-new research on final clusters and how to apply it in therapy.
✔️The key role of caregivers as co-therapists in virtual sessions.
If you’re a school-based SLP, private practitioner, or just considering telepractice, this episode will help you deliver high-impact, evidence-based therapy online, while avoiding the pitfalls.
