<div>Limited findings demonstrated that children with speech sound disorders required similar treatment dosage for optimal results regardless of whether service was delivered via telepractice or in person. They benefited from receiving telepractice services twice a week for 20-40 minutes, individual treatment sessions for at least 12-18 weeks (a total of 24-32 sessions) with an average dose of 75-100 productions per session. Limitations to this review include an overall paucity of evidence, small sample sizes, and reduced methodological rigor of included studies.</div>
