I really believe that parents are the captain of the family ship, and experts like Dr. Ally Patterson and myself are here to help make things better onboard. Dr. Patterson is a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst-Doctoral (BCBA-D) who is passionate about early intervention. But at the beginning of the pandemic, she realized the shutdown could cause her clients to lose progress, so she quickly had to adapt her practice to reach them using telehealth.

There can be so many barriers to good ABA therapy for a child: the waitlist for a diagnosis, insurance coverage, finding a great therapist, and copays. By flexing to virtual appointments, Ally has found that she can make herself a little more accessible to her clients.

In today’s video you’ll learn:
✔️ How to structure a telehealth meeting so that parents and children get the most out of it.
✔️ Tips for parents to help them support the work that’s done in a telehealth appointment.
✔️ How telehealth can potentially help ease the backlog of cases waiting to be seen by professionals.
✔️ How to decide when telehealth won’t work and when you should return to in-person meetings.
✔️ 3 principles that Dr. Patterson relies on for every telehealth appointment.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with development delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.
