Upon completion of the almost year-long project, a satisfaction survey incorporating a 5-point equal-appearing Likert scale (1= strongly disagree; 5= strongly agree) was disseminated to the stakeholders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The results sorted by the three populations surveyed, indicated stakeholder satisfaction with student progress toward their speech and language goals, and clinician accessibility and responsiveness (mean ratings &gt; 4 points). The respondents (N=23) also indicated they would “recommend TeleSpeech Therapy to other school districts” (mean rating: 4.3).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The only mean rating below 4.0 was associated with teacher responses to the statement: “My expectations for the TeleSpeech Therapy program have been met” (mean rating: 3.92).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Overall, parents/caregivers, teachers, and administrators appeared to find telepractice a satisfactory service delivery model for school-based speech-language therapy.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">         </span></span><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></em></p><p> </p> ER -
