因應新冠疫情在全球肆虐,期間香港大學教育學院理學士(言語及語言病理學)學生的實習課程均轉為以網上視像形式進行。檢討過往視像言語治療課的經驗,我們發現大部份曾參與的溝通障礙患者均對視像課表示正面的回應。其中多表示樂意繼續以視像形式進行言語治療課,最主要原因是視像治療課能同樣發揮現場治療的果效之餘,亦不受疫情或地域所限制。行動不便的溝通患者及其照顧者亦大大省卻了舟車勞頓所帶的不便與疲勞,有上好的經濟效益。隨著電子產品及網絡使用普及化,視像言語治療亦會慢慢在香港成為不可或缺的治療趨向。有見及此,香港大學教育學院成功獲得資助以成立第一所視像言語治療診所,以研究及推動更有效的視像診所臨床教學與實踐。
我們的成人視像課程,費用全免。適合罹患腦疾病如中風,認知障礙症,柏金遜症等病人參加。
課程大約分兩季進行。秋季課程為每年九月至十一月,而春季課程為每年一至四月,我們亦不定期開辦七月或八月的密集夏季課程。
我們將定期在此網頁發出有關新一期視像言語治療言語治療課程,請讚好我們的網頁,以定期收到新課程的報名詳情。
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in suspension of all face-to-face speech therapy sessions in the past two years. With the rapid advancement and universality of internet usage and electronic devices, we have successfully implemented speech therapy sessions through online platform. Upon causal evaluation with clients regarding the past online therapy experience, we gladly found that most clients provided positive feedback to the experience. They reported that since online therapy sessions could be conducted in their home, it enabled much convenience since travelling time, expenses and fatigue were minimized. Yet, they received the same amount of care and therapy effect as regular face-to-face therapy sessions used to provide. In view of the potential incorporation of online therapy into the regular healthcare mode in the future, HKU successfully obtained a special grant to set up the first speech therapy tele-clinic and investigate ways to improve the online mode of speech therapy further.
Our tele-clinic courses provide individual treatment sessions that are tailor-made for clients who have different kinds of communication or swallowing disorders from brain diseases such as stroke, dementia, or Parkinson's disease through the online platform.
We will hold regular free tele-clinic courses in two semesters. Autumn semester runs from September to November and spring semester runs from January to April. We may also conduct intensive summer course in July or August.
