Teletherapy for Early Intervention & Pre-School
Course Objectives, Outcomes & Course Agenda

Tele-Therapy For Early Intervention & Pre School

Teletherapy or ‘virtual early intervention’ services became possible on March 27, 2020 in New York State and was recommended as the primary and preferred method of service delivery even after Phase III began on July 6, 2020 in New York State. A mirror-image situation has occurred in other States throughout the Union, especially as ‘Early Intervention’ is deemed an ‘essential service.’ Updated 9/30/20:  teletherapy 'phone-only'

Given that Covid-19 is the ‘New Reality’ for the foreseeable future, the primary mandate to facilitate services is predicated upon the avoidance that children with developmental delays do not suffer irreversible regression during the relatively small window of opportunity afforded by the human brain’s neurological plasticity.

  • Learn about the imperative for teletherapy in the milieu of Covid-19, and its preference by governmental departments of health in lieu of physical face-to-face visits.
  • Learn about what telephony platforms may be used and which may not be used in accordance with HIPAA guidelines.
  • Learn about documentation during teletherapy, and which documents require or do not require parental signature.
  • Learn the teletherapy requirements under HIPAA, NYS & NYC with regard to how EXACTLY and in accordance with which REQUIREMENTS MUST be in place for teletherapy to occur, and be legally compliant and billable.
  • Learn which telephony (visual and audio data transmission) platforms are HIPAA and FERPA compliant for use in Early Intervention
  • Learn which disciplines CAN and SHOULD NOT use teletherapy based on their NY State Professional Practice Act for their professional discipline in the early intervention setting during this current pandemic declared State of Emergency
  • Learn all the details of how to discuss tele-therapy with parents, and how to create a setting where tele-therapy is maximized.
  • What elements of early intervention therapy must be implemented prior to and during each service provision occurrence?
  • What is the proper way to document teletherapy?
  • What is legally required by the parent vis-à-vis electronic consent versus signed informed consent?

This primer is a MUST READ for all early intervention and pre-school therapists and educators who service the professional needs of the early intervention service provider during this time of National Emergency due to the Corona Virus and Covid-19 disease.
