Teletherapy is the delivery of Telehealth Services, or early intervention services, using distance technology, typically computers, when the therapist or early intervention specialist and child and caregiver are not in the same physical location. Telehealth Therapy Services providers include speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, service coordinators and early intervention specialists.
CAREGIVER PARTICIPATION: Research shows children learn best from their parents! With Telehealth therapy services, parents are coached by Brighton to perform therapeutic intervention strategies. When parents practice a skill or strategy, they improve at it and can better use it outside the session. The more the skill is taught to a child, the quicker the progress a child will show.
HIGHER FREQUENCY & ADDED CONVENIENCE: The convenience of Teletherapy will make it easier for your service providers to conduct visits more often and will make it easier for you – all you have to do is simply login!
REDUCED CANCELLATIONS: Unlike an in-person visit, a Teletherapy services visit wont have to be rescheduled due to a child or family member illness or a service provider illness. In addition, inclement weather won’t cause the need to reschedule either.
PRIVACY & SECURITY EFFORTS GUARANTEED: Security procedures will be followed to protect the confidentiality of patient/client information and to safeguard information against intentional and unintentional corruption: a) Only encrypted software programs will be used to conduct the sessions and b) Lesson plan progress notes, evaluation results, or any other documents containing personal information (names, addresses, birth dates, etc.) will be either mailed to the caregiver through the U.S. Postal Service or emailed via encrypted email.
