Nonadoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, and sustainability (NASSS) framework domain definitions and example tweets.

NASSS domain Example Example tweet content
1. Condition Focus on use of telepractice for a specific communication disorder, such as aphasia, social communication disorder, or Parkinson's disease Check out this video demonstrating effective telepractice with individuals with motor speech disorders.
2. Technology General telehealth hardware or software, such as webcams, monitors, or videoconferencing programs Does anyone use a wireless webcam for telepractice? Which one works best?

6. Wider system Reimbursement or policy change, regulatory issues (e.g., privacy and licensure), and professional bodies' (e.g., ASHA) response to telepractice Call your state representative and ask them for support legislature to reimburse emergency telepractice services for kids.
7. Adaptation/embedding over time Sustainability of telepractice long term or postpandemic (No tweets were found, but this category would involve addressing how current telepractice systems can be reinforced to continue into the future.)
