Telehealth/Teletherapy refers to medical services provided virtually over a HIPPA compliant technology platform, and is used for delivering many of the same treatments used during in-person appointments.

​

Examples of areas addressed in Pediatric Occupational Therapy telehealth/teletherapy include:

•Fine motor and gross motor skills 

•Writing

•Assisting with self-care –  such as dressing, eating/feeding, and grooming

•Managing emotions or behaviors

•Sensory processing skills

•Organizing, planning, and completing tasks

 

Telehealth/teletherapy was originally created to bring much-needed healthcare services to underserved or rural populations, allowing patients to receive care when they might not be able to.  

​

Nowadays, patients or clients who can access care, may still prefer telehealth/teletherapy – it involves technology and offers convenience as you will not have to leave your home.  

​

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, demand for telehealth/teletherapy has increased as more families choose to keep their children home during the pandemic.
