The three articles included in this SIG 18 activity represent the diverse work settings and populations served through telepractice. The first article by Sundarrajan and Franco evaluates an in-person and telepractice parent-mediated intervention for autistic children called Project SKILLS (Skills and Knowledge for Language Learning Success). Project SKILLS demonstrates similar progress through both modalities with some advantages for families participating via telepractice. The second article by Hatcher and Weiler investigates the administration of the SCAN–3 for Adolescents and Adults: Tests for Auditory Processing Disorders (SCAN-3:A) via in-person and telepractice. The preliminary findings provide accommodation considerations for remote screening of APD. The third article by Weatherill, Tibus, and Rodriquez describes the Virtual- Appropriate Decision Approach (VADA), a systematic problem-solving approach for conducting aphasia assessments via telepractice.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• summarize how to implement Project SKILLS via telepractice
• describe how specific test administration tasks can be modified to administer the SCAN-3:A remotely
• list the steps of VADA

Assessment Type
Self-assessment—Think about what you learned and report on the Completion Form how you will use your new knowledge.
