The purpose of this study was to update information regarding the perspectives of speech-language pathologists on the use of telepractice (video conferencing technology and all other associated technologies beyond just the schools)as compared to traditional (in-person) delivery models during the coronavirus era, specifically, in comparison to perceptions identified by Tucker (2012) prior to coronavirus-19. A survey was distributed to 6,431 practicing speech-language pathologists within the United States, with a total of 545 total usable responses. Although clinicians generally agree that telepractice can be as effective as in-person service delivery, they are hesitant to embrace its use. Further research should explore the reasons behind the hesitation experienced by clinicians to adopt telepractice as a service delivery model. This study will contribute to the evidence-based foundation on which SLPs are encouraged to build their practice. Clinical implications, study limitations, and future directions are discussed.
