Welcome to the show notes for the Episode 57 of the OT Schoolhouse Podcast.

In this second episode of the 2-part teletherapy series, I discuss the pros and cons of the most popular telehealth platforms being used by public schools districts and some tips on how to use both Google Meet and Zoom. I then go into what a school-based occupational therapy evaluation may look like through a telehealth model. We will look at what assessments tools may or may not be possible. And finally, in the end, we will discuss ethics as they relate to telehealth and how to ensure that you are providing equitable services.
