Describes how groups of speech pathologists all over Sweden have worked together to build networks for professional co-operation. Today, about 20 systems are permanently installed and two of the schools for therapists in Sweden are involved giving courses the ISDN network. Patients as receivers of therapy on a more general level have also been involved. Participants in the projects have tried several different applications, including sharing standard programs over the network at the same time as they participate in a videoconference. The projects are based on research work on language training using videotelephony at the University of Karlstad.
