Keeping visits virtual for neurotypical children
 

Hello,

   I am the parent of a special needs child that has autism, ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I myself have thyroid and parathyroid health issues as well as ADHD.

These children have so many appointments. The multitasking involved is off the charts. 
Virtual appointments has made it easier to manage all the chaos o multiple appointments during very adverse circumstances. 

  We are tired, we are struggling and virtual appointments take some of the pressure off of a very stressful and chaotic life.

 

The Telehealth visits have been more productive and better communication as a whole.

 

I would like to ask that these appointments remain virtual as so many of these families are struggling to maintain on a day to day basis. 

Thank you,

Tiffany
