While earlier software used in speech therapy was usually limited to preset exercise patterns chosen by speech language pathologists according to their professional judgment, the latest intelligent systems cover all main speech therapy issues, including diagnosis, therapy exercises, performance monitoring, instant feedback both to the client and the speech language pathologist. Some of the professional challenges practitioners are facing today are related to the proper use of technology in their everyday practice, including the use of communication devices to deliver speech and language therapy services at a distance.
