Telehealth and Occupational Therapy in Schools

This text, the first in a series on telehealth by the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), acknowledges that telehealth is a critical part of school-based occupational therapy. It aims to equip practitioners to effectively bridge the digital divide, ensure equitable access to services, determine whether telehealth is an appropriate fit, and work with caregivers for the best possible outcomes. Telehealth and Occupational Therapy in Schools guides practitioners through effective evaluation and assessment via telehealth, creating effective interventions to promote participation in school and learning, addressing regulation strategies for students, and best practices for delivering school-based occupational therapy via telehealth.
