Our OT community must decide what interventions are
going to look like when delivered via telehealth. We are at an
important point in the trajectory of our profession and it is
vital that we are active in shaping our future. For open access
peer-reviewed research about telehealth, see the International
Journal of Telerehabilitation (www.telerehab.pitt.edu) and for
more information, consult AOTA’s website (www.aota.org), and
Pearson Publishing’s website for ‘telepractice’ materials (www.
pearsonclinical.com). For those interested in learning more about
telehealth or the TeleSCOPE model of intervention, contact
Dr. Lauren Little at [email protected]. Our website, www.
telescopecenter.org may also be accessed by the general population
and our podcasts, titled ‘TeleSCOPE: Occupational Therapy Talk
for Parents’ will soon be available on Apple Podcasts.
