Family and caregivers may have difficulty learning to set up the equipment and may fail to take ownership of their end of the video call. With repeated consults with the technical support person and careful instruction, technical and logistical barriers are lowered. Although the telerehabilitation approach is not without its technical and human challenges, users actually make better progress with the support of telerehabilitation than they would using conventional speech therapy alone. Because less time and hassle is involved in transportation to and from the speech clinic and because training can be provided in the home setting, the client and his or her communication partners can devote more focused attention on learning to communicate.

It allows us to connect with other human beings and share our thoughts and feelings. No one should fear the act of communicating in front of other people. The only fear should be the inability to share thought with others. I know because being able to communicate with words opens doors for me. D.C. Handbook of Augmentative and Alternative Communication.
