Telepractice has been found to be an effective way to provide intervention services to children who are Deafor HardofHearing (DHH) (Blaiser, Behl, Callow-Heusser, & White, 2013; Behlet al., 2017). This is particularly important as children who live in rural and remote areas often lack access to specializedproviders (Cason, Behl, & Ringwalt, 2012).Comprehensive assessment of childrenwho areDHH should include a language sample analysis as language samples are the gold standard for measuring language development (Werfel & Douglas, 2017; Blaiser & Shannahan, 2018). Language samples offer in-depth information about the children’s functional use of language which norm-referenced assessments alone cannot provide (Ebert & Scott, 2014). The purpose of the study is to understandchallenges with assessing children who are DHH in rural areas in Idaho and to explore if telepractice could be used effectively to collect language samples from preschool children who are DHH.Key Words: Deaf, hard of hearing, telepractice, language samples
