Course Description:
Telehealth is an alternative service delivery model that pediatric occupational therapists and
pediatric physical therapists can use for implementing therapeutic interventions. Research
supports the efficacy of telehealth in pediatric OT and PT populations, but providing this form of
pediatric therapy comes with a unique set of challenges. Therapists new to this delivery model
need to be equipped with practical information on how to conduct evaluations and effectively
implement therapeutic interventions.
In this course on virtual pediatric therapy, therapists will ascertain appropriate virtual technology
and online platforms for teleintervention as well as practice guidelines for each discipline.
Therapists will learn how to utilize telehealth for informal assessment methods and acceptable
standardized assessments to conduct a comprehensive virtual evaluation. Therapists will glean
insights into dealing with difficult behaviors that may arise during a telehealth session. This
presentation is applicable for occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language
pathologists who work in pediatric settings.
