Expanding Access: Enhancing School-Based Clinical Staffing with Teletherapy Solutions
Choosing the right technology The basic technology for synchronous and secure teletherapy services includes a reliable internet connection, computer (desktop or laptop) or Chromebook (not usually optimal due to screen size), headsets for each student participating and for the treating clinician. At a minimum, the platform used to engage in teletherapy needs to be HIPAA and FERPA compliant and support synchronous audio and video for multiple participants. However, to support best practices in teletherapy, a platform also should include: Whiteboard with tools Integrated digital versions required assessments Ability for students to interact with activities (integrated, without having to share mouse control) Screenshare and co-browsing capabilities Ability to host group sessions with individual video feeds Second camera integration functionality (to support some assessments, OT services, and other clinical needs) Ability for clinician to see non-verbal test responses as an integrated function Ability to integrate therapy materials Video integration
