PEDIATRIC THERAPY
Having previously shifted and trained to exclusively providing telehealth sessions, therapists gradually began to work
in person again while adhering strictly to CDC guidelines and COVID protocols. The ability to offer either telehealth
or in-person sessions became a value that was added to the client’s experience, providing much greater flexibility in
scheduling for both families and providers.
The parent-coaching model of Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT), ages birth to three, was strengthened
and supported by the telehealth model, as it allowed parents to increase their direct
participation in helping the child.
While many Behavioral Health families chose to move back to in
person sessions as soon as safely possible to best accommodate
their children’s needs, we also discovered that virtual sessions
offered a chance for kids and their caregivers to show us around
their home and provided a glimpse into everyday life that we
may otherwise not have access to.
For children ages 4 – 8, therapists made a thoughtful, wellplanned
return to in-person services at our pediatric clinic (now
known as the Child Development Center) for clients who truly
needed to be seen face to face. Virtual sessions continued for
families who were having success with the telehealth format.
