Abstract

The use of telehealth to provide supports to families has been a mode of service delivery in some form for decades across healthcare, including behavior analysis. However, the need for telehealth services increased exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the initial months of the public health emergency. With this exponential growth, many families and service providers experienced some of the benefits and limitations of this service modality for the first time. With these experiences in mind, in this chapter, we summarize the existing telehealth literature that provides behavior analytic supports and services to children and their families and then describe critical practice considerations to assist behavior analysts with determinations of when telehealth service delivery is clinically indicated, contraindicated, or somewhere in between.
