E-supervision effectively supports graduate speech-language pathologist (SLP) interns in rural schools, offering convenient and less stressful training comparable to in-person methods.
Area of Science:
- Speech-Language Pathology
- Educational Technology
- Rural Healthcare
Background:
- Addressing critical speech-language pathologist (SLP) shortages in underserved rural school districts.
- Exploring innovative supervision models to support graduate SLP interns.
- Evaluating the feasibility and impact of remote supervision in educational settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the efficacy of e-supervision for graduate SLP interns in rural and hard-to-staff schools.
- To compare intern perceptions of e-supervision versus traditional in-person supervision.
- To identify how e-supervision can enhance professional development for SLP interns.
Main Methods:
- Mixed-methods research design combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews.
- Analysis of supervision documents and records for graduate SLP interns.
- Data collection from SLP interns regarding their supervision experiences.
Main Results:
- E-supervision provided adequate support for graduate SLP interns across diverse caseloads and activities.
- Interns perceived e-supervision as comparable to in-person supervision in effectiveness.
- E-supervision was reported as a more convenient and less stressful supervision format.
Conclusions:
- E-supervision is a viable and beneficial model for supporting SLP interns in rural educational settings.
- The findings suggest e-supervision can help mitigate personnel shortages in speech-language pathology.
- Further research should explore long-term impacts and best practices for implementing e-supervision.
