Rate My Professor Monique Waite

Waite's research focuses on telepractice and telehealth in speech pathology and audiology to improve access and outcomes for individuals with hearing loss and their families, including protocols for children with communication disabilities, implementation evaluations, and workforce preparation. She also explores person- and family-centered service models for culturally and linguistically diverse populations and health professional education via simulated and interprofessional learning. Notable involvement includes the Simulated Telemedicine Environment Project for Students at Griffith University. Key publications encompass 'Development and validation of an observational tool to measure engagement in telepractice early intervention' (2024), 'Looking beyond body structure and function: a scoping review of non-impairment impacts of stroke on adolescents' (2024), 'Experiences of childhood stroke and aphasia during adolescence: an analysis of YouTube videos' (2023), and multiple 2025 articles on hearing loss stigma, such as 'Who do you tell about your hearing loss? A stigma-induced identity-threat model for adults with hearing loss' and 'Factors influencing the use of hearing services by diverse ethnic communities in Australia'. Her pioneering work influences telehealth adoption in paediatric speech pathology.
