A Systematic Review of Evidence Relating to the Use of Telesupervision for Speech-Language Pathology Students on Clinical Placements
International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, v60 n1 e13133 2025
Background: The use of telepractice in delivering speech-language pathology services is increasing and speech-language pathologists are providing supervision to students on clinical placements through telesupervision. The review examined literature on telesupervision for speech-language pathology students on a clinical placement. Aims: To systematically review the literature on how, when, and why telesupervision is used by speech-language pathologists supervising students; and the views and experiences of students, practice educators, and clients on telesupervision. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines through searches in six databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Educational Resources Information Center). Quality of the studies was examined using the Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs. Main Contribution: In total, the eight studies included in the review described the use of telesupervision with speech-language pathology students. The studies revealed that telesupervision is considered an effective supervision model for speech-language pathology students, as an adjunct to in-person supervision. Multiple aspects of telesupervision in the studies related to workplace settings, access to and training of technology, type of caseload, practice educator attributes, and the student--educator supervisory relationship. Conclusions and Implications: Speech-language pathology educators and students consider telesupervision to be a useful and effective model of supervision, when used as an adjunct to in-person supervision. Although there is limited research to date examining the use of telesupervision in speech-language pathology, the findings of this review can be used to guide support of educators and students as well as inform future research in this area.
