What is Telehealth Therapy?
Telehealth therapy is an online occupational therapy service via high-resolution, live video conferencing. Telehealth therapy sessions are similar to traditional occupational therapy sessions, with one major exception. Instead of sitting in the same room, students and therapists interact via live video conferencing.
During therapy sessions, the student and therapist can see, hear, and interact with one another in real-time, using webcams, headsets, and live, synchronous online learning environment.
If you’ve ever used Skype on your computer or FaceTime on your iPhone, you’ve used a similar type of technology.
The actual therapy is the same as the therapist would deliver face-to-face; only telehealth therapy is done with a computer! Licensed therapists use traditional therapy techniques and activities and enhance those techniques through innovative software and tools and have the technology literally at their fingertips to plan and deliver high-quality services. We provide telehealth therapy to anyone in the world.
