Abstract

The purpose of this tutorial is to guide speech-language pathologists in conducting speech and language evaluations remotely. Practical considerations, such as setting up the testing environment and the importance of conducting a pre-evaluation check, are discussed. Different item types and assessments are discussed with consideration of the technology requirements for different tools. Issues such as testing fidelity when remotely administering assessments that were normed with in-person testing and ways to use standardized tools in nonstandardized ways are addressed. The benefits of remote testing are discussed.
