Early Intervention and Teletherapy during the COVID-19 Era
Abstract
COVID-19 emerged as a worldwide pandemic at the beginning of 2020, requiring early intervention programs to discontinue face-to-face service provision and initiate teletherapy as the means to service provision. In the previous article, a survey found that service providers found teletherapy to be a viable manner of providing services and could be very effective on a case-by-case basis. A follow-up survey found that many of these same service providers saw teletherapy as a viable option for early intervention service provision in the post-COVID-19 era while families overwhelmingly preferred teletherapy in favor of in-person service provision.
