Telehealth is a great alternative to traditional face-to-face therapy, especially during this uncertain time. Did you know that research has even shown that tele-health services are just as effective as face-face services? They are not meant to replace face-to-face services, but a great alternative for continued progress when face-to-face therapy is not feasible. It allows for greater understanding of therapy and provides additional support for carry over of strategies at home. Telehealth is the perfect opportunity to provide occupation-based coaching. Occupation-based coaching directly involves caregivers in creating strategies to increase a child’s participation in daily activities across natural environments. When performed via telehealth, it has been found to significantly increase parent involvement in the therapy process. It helps parents engage with their children in play activities and try more skill-based activities during everyday routines, especially parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It also helps parents formulate their own strategies and better equips them for the unpredictable challenges! #shenandoahsoundstart #soundstart #teletherapy #telehealth #learnfromhome #pediatrictherapy #otfun #slpfun #ptfun #parentcoaching #occupationbasedlearning #specialeducationalneeds #privatepracticeslp #privatepracticeot #privatepracticept #winchesterva #winchesterslp #winchesterot #winchesterpt #pediatrics #pediatricoccupationaltherapy #pediatricphysicaltherapy #pediatricspeechtherapy References: Little, L., Pope, E., Wallisch, A., Dunn, W.; Occupation-Based Coaching by Means of Telehealth for Families of Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Look at all those rainbows! Another successful week of OT teletherapy sessions! Here's an example of how we might take one idea and adapt it to fit a variety of needs! Believe it or not, each rainbow works on a different skill whether that's fine motor skill development, visual perception skills, self regulation and emotional control, following directions and attention, or even feeding therapy to help those picky eaters learn more about food! #shenandoahsoundstart #teletherapy #telehealth #teletherapyot #teletherapymaterials #ot #winchesterot #winchesterva #winchester #learningisfun #teletherapyfun #pediatrictherapy #pediatricoccupationaltherapy #selfregulation #emotionalcontrol #finemotorskills #finemotoractivity #finemotor #feedingtherapy #feedingtherapyathome #feedingtherapyfun #feedingtherapyworks #pickyeaters #visualperception #visualperceptionskills #privatepractice #privatepracticeot #pediatricot #occupationaltherapy #soundstart https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQEtykAK2j/?igshid=1soom2jr7sksi
