Survey results found the major barriers to implementation of telehealth services to be lack of practitioner training, a lack of access to technology for students, and concerns that the quality of intervention might not be equivalent to in-person service delivery. This article discusses both the benefits and barriers to providing telehealth services in school-based practice and offers considerations for future studies on this topic.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Telerehabilitation}, author={Hermes, Susan Skees and Rauen, Jade and O’Brien, Shirley}, year={2021}, month={May} }
