Episode 120 - Telehealth Grab Bag

NOTE: This episode is no longer available for CEs. As online communication becomes our new normal—at least for the time being—BCBAs are left scrambling to figure out how to adapt their services to their clients. Fortunately, telehealth systems have been in use in the medical field for some time. This week, we review a bevy of articles describing some of the ways training over telehealth can occur, some troubleshooting tips for your telehealth setup, and a nice think piece on rethinking how we address problem solving with our clients. And, to say thank you to all of our listeners (and to do what we can to help our BCBA friends out there), this episode's 1.0 learning credit can be purchased for FREE!!
