Project Title

Synopsis

The overarching aim of this study is to develop and trial a new and innovative speech pathology service model whereby patients with communication disorders can access their therapy using a virtual reality (VR) tool via telehealth. There is currently no research published reporting the remote delivery of a VR tool. Hence this project is highly innovative and would be one of the first studies in this field. Once confirmed as feasible, this model could be translated for use by other services (e.g., STARS) and professional groups (e.g., physiotherapy, occupational therapy, etc) for therapeutic benefit. The specific aims of this project are to: 
Aim 1: Develop a new model of care delivering a VR tool for communication rehabilitation via telehealth.
Aim 2: Confirm speech pathologist (SP) and patient education/supports required to facilitate delivery of the new VR telehealth service model. 
Aim 3: Examine the feasibility and acceptability of delivering this novel model from RBWH Speech Pathology Department directly to the patient in their home.
