“…SLPs require support and preparation to use technology proficiently, ethically, and effectively. Obtaining equipment and training is the responsibility of both the employer and the SLP, who should advocate for necessary resources (Cochran, 2004(Cochran, , 2005. Few SLPs in our survey received training on computer-based therapy during graduate school, and most gained skills informally on the job.…”

“…Currently, there are no standardized educational requirements for SLPs, and evidence-based practice standards have not been established. ASHA has recently published recommendations for basic clinical computing competencies that SLPs should demonstrate (Cochran, 2004(Cochran, , 2005. These competencies place an expectation on SLPs to evaluate their knowledge levels and determine how they can integrate technological resources into their unique situations and practice settings.…”

Computers are involved in many facets of daily life, and studies have shown computers to be effective tools in aphasia rehabilitation. However, the degree to which speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use computers in aphasia management is unclear. This study surveyed SLPs to determine patterns and frequency of computer use associated with aphasia rehabilitation. The survey was distributed to SLPs in health care settings through e-mail and traditional mail. Surveys were analyzed for frequency and patterns of computer use in direct therapy and for other related purposes. Responses were received from 107 SLPs. Survey results indicated that SLPs use computers more often for indirect or supplemental purposes than for direct therapy.
