Telepractice Guidance
 

I have a few concerns and questions in regards to telepractice. Currently, I know telepractice is being used widely throughout SWVA school systems. In regards to the Guidance Document, section 5, is it the sole responsibility of the practitioner to determine the appropriateness of clients? What would you consider an inappropriate client? This seems like a gray area.

 

In regards to section 4 and informed consent, does this mean that parents (speaking largely to the school system) should be notified and provide consent if teletherapy is to replace previous delivery model? 

 

Thank you!
