Expanding Access: Enhancing School-Based Clinical Staffing with Teletherapy Solutions
Student Outreach and Orientation Students generally make the move to virtual services with little to no orientation needed. Children attending schools now are digital natives, and technology and various versions of online learning are already woven into their general education. Those students who require a higher level of support throughout their school day will also require this level of support to participate in teletherapy sessions. Workflow and Communication Teletherapy services are very similar to onsite services, with the primary difference being the mode of communication required among team members and parents. With one or more members of the IEP team being remote, communication might require greater intention and creativity, such as the teletherapist hosting weekly virtual office hours for teachers and parents. Otherwise, the workflow aligns with that required of onsite clinicians. Progress Tracking Clinicians delivering intervention services virtually track student progress and complete documentation just as they would if delivering services onsite. Some teletherapy platforms offer the ability to add and track IEP goals, which can provide greater efficiency for clinicians.
