Abstract: Introduction: The present study aimed to understand the experiences of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) on the use of telepractice for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in India. Method: Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 16 SLPs who were practising in India. The data were analyzed using an inductive thematic analysis approach, and the results revealed three major themes: Use of telepractice for children with ASD, clinician related factors influencing telepractice, child related factors influencing telepractice and respective sub-themes. Results: The results of our study revealed key insights regarding the essential prerequisites and certain factors influencing telepractice for children with ASD. These include the development of comprehensive training courses for both clinicians and parents, addressing technical challenges to ensure seamless operation. Conclusion: SLPs offered valuable suggestions for the future of telepractice and detailed its perceived advantages and disadvantages, thereby highlighting the significant benefits of telepractice for the majority of children with ASD, with advice on addressing the challenges encountered. Given the increasing demand for telepractice, there is a need to extend the findings of the study to health professionals working in varied settings and locations.
