Since telepractice regulation does not yet exist in Japan, we assessed telepractice efficacy and the level of satisfaction with telepractice versus that with face-to-face practice (FTFP) in speech therapy to establish effective telepractice in Japan. Changes in the number of therapy sessions and therapy levels were compared between telepractice and FTFP sessions conducted during the study period. Additionally, the patients' parents completed a questionnaire survey regarding telepractice. The mean number of sessions was not significantly different between the two types of therapy; the therapy levels, according to stepwise speech therapy, either increased or remained unchanged. The survey showed satisfaction with telepractice among all parents. Telepractice for cleft palate speech was delivered successfully with complete parental satisfaction.

远程治疗（2019 年冠状病毒病大流行期间的一种替代治疗工具）对与先天异常相关的言语障碍的疗效

由于日本尚不存在远程治疗法规，我们评估了言语治疗中远程治疗的效果以及远程治疗与面对面治疗（FTFP）的满意度，以在日本建立有效的远程治疗。比较了研究期间进行的远程治疗和 FTFP 治疗次数和治疗水平的变化。此外，患者的父母还完成了有关远程医疗的问卷调查。两种治疗类型之间的平均疗程次数没有显着差异；根据逐步言语治疗，治疗水平要么增加，要么保持不变。调查显示所有家长对远程医疗感到满意。腭裂言语远程练习成功进行，家长完全满意。
