Thanks for the feedback. The telepractice we use operates by using SKYPE, an internet service that essentially allows the computer to act as a phone. With the Logitech cameras we use, we are able to do videoconferencing, which means we can do therapy with our clients face-to-face, from wherever they happen to be (work, home, etc.). So far, we have four clients using the service, and it seems to be going quite well. More data on that later. On the training aspect, I am preparing to analyze and report data from the students' reports of their training experiences. One thing I have not done is followed the students after graduation, to see how they have developed as therapists. I can say that two of my past masters students are now pursuing doctoral degrees, both specializing in stuttering. Not sure what role the program played in their decisions. Thanks again for your interest.
