A few examples of successful virtual assessments during the Coronavirus pandemic.
A new SLT working with a Spanish-speaking aphasia patient needed support for an evaluation. After a text and FaceTime conversation from the facility car park, the device was programmed on the spot for the evaluation in Spanish and delivered directly by one of our Account Managers dressed in proper protective equipment to the SLT.
One of our Account Managers met an SLT on the doorstep of her client’s home, programmed the device and connected it to the home wireless network so that the patient’s mother could take the device inside for the evaluation. Together, they controlled the eye gaze device remotely from the front porch and using Zoom, the SLT guided them through the evaluation.
A new SLT needed training on our devices to conduct evaluations for four new clients with different needs. Our Account Manager programmed four devices and shipped them to the SLT. They conducted a Zoom meeting to review the devices and discuss questions in-depth. The SLT felt confident enough to then conduct the evaluations for all four clients.
A new SLT needed several devices shipped for pediatric evaluations. One of our Account Managers held a virtual preparatory meeting with the SLT to program the devices. Then, during the first evaluation on Zoom, the child indicated a love of dogs, so our Account Manager brought their dog in to participate. The child selected ‘go’ and ‘stop’ to request that the dogs move and later selected the words “I want more dog”. Success!
