When many clinicians pivoted to teletherapy as the primary service delivery a couple of years ago, many believed that it was a temporary solution. That doesn't seem to be the case. Teletherapy appears to be an option that is becoming more common. In this conference, various teletherapy topics will be presented, including social learning in children on the autism spectrum, and teletherapy resources for working with school-aged children, and adults. Ethical considerations in telepractice will be explored and finally, the importance of self-care as we continue to navigate through this latest service delivery.
