Telehealth is the distribution of health-related services and information via telecommunication technologies.

Telehealth allows for long distance contact, care, support, education, intervention and monitoring between providers and patients. Sessions are set up at times that fit into you availability and you child’s needs. Telehealth offers live support when you need it.

Telehealth sessions can be used for parent training (with and without child present), as well as direct treatment with clients. BCBAs/case managers are available via technology to support, train, and provide treatment. Trained 1:1 therapists are also able to work directly with children and parents during telehealth sessions. Depending on the technology utilized, session may be able to also be recorded for later viewing and training opportunities.

Telehealth goals are designed to fit into your home and your child’s needs. By collaborating together, we will adjust your child’s treatment plan to include social programs and engagement so your child continues to make progress. We are also planning to add “virtual play dates” and mini groups with the help of technology so you child remains connected to peers!
