Telepractice in speech-language pathology: Assessing remote speech discrimination

CONCLUSIONS: TALSA speech discrimination can be administered remotely to evaluate potential perceptual influences on auditory comprehension. In remote assessment, participants demonstrated the expected pattern of more accurate speech discrimination for word stimuli than for non-words. The non-word TALSA condition may be particularly useful for detecting speech perception impairment, both in face-to-face and telepractice sessions. Similar performance of participants in both live voice and recorded conditions of the NU-6 word lists suggests that recordings used in SLP receptive language or memory assessment, including the TALSA, need not be abandoned in favor of live voice to support audition during telepractice.PMID:37356141 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcomdis.2023.106350
