Telehealth Services
What is telehealth and what are its benefits? Telehealth services for occupational therapy (OT) involve providing therapy remotely through digital platforms like video conferencing and phone calls.
These services allow clients to connect with therapists in real-time for assessments and treatment, enabling the creation of personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs and goals where we can meet you virtually from anywhere!
What are the benefits of Telehealth?
Accessibility: Increased access for individuals in remote areas or those with mobility challenges.
Convenience: Flexibility in scheduling appointments and participating from the comfort of home.
Continuity of Care: Ensures ongoing support during situations where in-person visits may not be feasible, such as distance from the therapist, pandemics or natural disasters.
Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces travel expenses and time associated with in-person visits because virtually we can meet you anywhere in British Columbia!
How can OT's provide excellent health care from a distance?
Virtual Sessions: Clients can connect with their OT via video conferencing platforms, phone calls, or even messaging applications. This allows for real-time interaction, assessments, and treatment.
Assessment and Evaluation: OTs can conduct initial evaluations and ongoing assessments remotely by observing our client’s environment, discussing their needs, and asking targeted questions.
Customized Treatment Plans: Therapists can develop individualized treatment plans based on the client’s specific goals, needs, and challenges, even when working remotely.
Education and Training: OTs can provide guidance on adaptive equipment, modifications for daily activities, and exercises to improve functional abilities, all tailored to the client’s home environment.
Activity Analysis: Therapists can help clients analyze your daily routines and suggest modifications to improve performance and independence.
Family Involvement: Telehealth can facilitate family participation in sessions, allowing loved ones to learn about therapeutic strategies and how to support the client at home.
Follow-up and Support: OTs can schedule regular follow-ups to monitor progress, adjust treatment plans, and provide ongoing support and encouragement.
