In Episode 5, we will discuss managing technology which is so important for successful tele-intervention. We will consider technology options and share tips for preparing families to use technology during visits, troubleshooting, and addressing issues with access.
In this episode, we will talk about how to support the parent-child relationship during tele-intervention. We revisit the mission of early intervention and discuss how supporting families virtually requires that service providers really focus on parent-child interactions and family routines and activities as the contexts for intervention. Lots of strategies are shared and we hear from a current service provider about her experiences supporting this important relationship.
Early intervention service providers have risen to the challenge of shifting service delivery to using virtual platforms. In this episode, we discuss challenges reported by providers such as families declining virtual EI services, difficulties with using technology, managing their own family needs while working from home, managing their feelings about preparedness and effectiveness, etc. We’ll also share lots of tips from providers for overcoming these challenges.
Listen as we discuss what early interventionists are saying about the benefits of providing services virtually. We will also touch on what research suggests about benefits and hear two stories from service providers sharing their positive experiences providing tele-intervention.
