“…The benefits of home-based therapies are best studied in early intervention services for children from birth to three years. Home-based services are a foundational component of early intervention because "the child's natural environment is often described as the most developmentally appropriate learning environment for children with developmental delays" [3]. The therapist is able to see the child in their home environment where they are most comfortable.…”

Telemedicine has emerged as a vital tool for continuing to provide therapy to children with disabilities throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. While video visits have certain advantages, such as the ability to see the children in their home, they also have potential drawbacks, as some exam maneuvers and objective measurement tools cannot be performed virtually. The increased utilization of telemedicine also raises questions about access to care. Video visits can remove the transportation and time barriers that some families face. However, they raise new barriers, such as a requirement for home internet access and insurance coverage, that may negatively impact access to care for certain patients. Moving forward, a combination of clinic and video visits in pediatric rehabilitation may be the best way to harness the advantages of both modalities while minimizing their disadvantages. Our article discusses issues relating to rehabilitation therapy delivered via virtual visits, but further study is needed to examine whether video visits achieve similar outcomes to clinic visits.

“…There is little empirical evidence examining outcomes for children based on the different environments of EI/ECSE service delivery across home, school or clinic. However, some evidence suggests that providing services in the child's natural environments or those in which they spend the most time (e.g., home and school) is most effective at achieving desired outcomes of intervention (Hoffman, 2016; Sheldon & Rush, 2001). In addition, IDEIA (2004) calls for EI/ECSE services to take place in children's natural environments.…”

Over 1 million children under age 5 years who have special needs are served by early intervention and early childhood special education (EI/ECSE) intended to promote academic and non-cognitive school readiness. Past research suggested these services may have null or negative effects on kindergarten-reading skills, but these studies did not account for features of the services received by participants. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort, this study explored the relations between kindergarten-reading performance and EI/ECSE intensity and service provider. Analyses of a nationally representative sample of 550 participants (67% male, 63% White) indicated approximately 30% of the variance in kindergartenreading is explained by a combination of child characteristics, hours of service and type of providers. Resultssuggest EI/ECSE effectiveness varies slightly by service intensity and provider, highlighting the need for additional research about the optimal conditions under which these services may be administered.
