Developing Workforce Skills and Capacity in Telehealth: What LEND Trainees Need to Know

DiscussionTrainees, professionals, and family members all agreed that knowing the basics of telehealth is essential for effective telehealth service delivery. Emerging healthcare professionals need to understand how those they will be serving engage with technology, their levels of experience in this area, and effective strategies for engaging children and youth with NDD through telehealth. This will bridge the engagement gap many families of children with disabilities face when not meeting in person. Findings from this study contributed to the design of learning materials that currently support LEND trainees across the country in developing these skills.
