Abstract

Telepractice is an appropriate model of service delivery for a person with aphasia (PWA). We define telepractice and its two modes of delivery (i.e., synchronous and asynchronous). We detail a technology, web-Oral Reading for Language in Aphasia (web-ORLA™), developed to provide aphasia treatment intensively from a distance and subsequently evaluated during a clinical trial. In this article, we describe our experiences using web-ORLA™, highlighting the role of the speech-language pathologist (SLP) and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of this unique combination of synchronous and asynchronous telepractice. Web-ORLA™ was delivered to PWAs in their homes by a digital agent, or “virtual therapist,” who served as a model and provided instructions similarly to a real therapist. An SLP at a distant geographical location monitored the sessions remotely, either synchronously or asynchronously, provided feedback, made appropriate adjustments to the difficulty level of the stimuli, and conducted weekly pr...

两全其美:同步与非同步远程练习在失语症治疗中的结合

远程实践是一种适合于失语症患者的服务模式。我们定义了远程实践及其两种交付模式(即同步和异步)。我们详细介绍了一种技术，网络口语阅读语言在失语症(web-ORLA™)，开发提供远程集中治疗失语症，随后在临床试验中进行评估。在本文中，我们描述了我们使用web-ORLA™的经验，强调了语言病理学家(SLP)的作用，并讨论了这种同步和异步远程实践的独特组合的优点和缺点。Web-ORLA™由数字代理或“虚拟治疗师”提供给pwa，他们在家中充当模型，并提供类似于真实治疗师的指导。在遥远的地理位置，一个SLP远程监控会话，无论是同步还是异步，提供反馈，适当调整刺激的难度水平，并进行每周pr。
