From COVID-19 to Co-Video Sessions in the Bronx: Pandemic Lessons in Telehealth

Abstract

Date Presented 04/01/2022 Therapists explored the perceptions of caregivers of children with developmental disabilities who did, and did not. do telehealth and whether they found it feasible, effective, and supportive. Results show that telehealth can be effective if there is internet access, as well as effective communication between the caregiver and therapist. Our study indicates that therapists should be flexible during telehealth to accommodate for language barriers and children who have difficulty attending to telehealth.
