Using Telehealth as a Tool for Intervention in Pediatrics

Description

Using Telehealth as a Tool for Intervention in Pediatrics

AOTA recognizes telehealth as an alternative method of service delivery that allows clients to receive services, even when separated physical by distance from the therapist, in places where clients live, work, and play. In addition, accreditation standards require that educational institutions ensure that graduates demonstrate an understanding of the use of technology, including telehealth technology, to support client performance, participation, and health and well-being. This 2-hour webinar reviews the definition of telehealth, discusses the existing evidence regarding the use of telehealth in occupational therapy, and illustrates potential opportunities for this approach with pediatric clients.
