service(s) delivered using teletherapy as a service delivery method. I understand that the teletherapy services that my child will be receiving will fulfill the service mandate in my child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and are not being delivered in addition to the home/community-based services that my child is authorized to receive.
I understand that there are potential risks involving technology, including but not limited to: Internet interruptions, and technical difficulties. I understand that technical difficulties with hardware, software, and internet connection may result in service interruption and that the health care provider is not responsible for any technical problems and does not guarantee that services will be available or work as expected.
I understand that teletherapy means that services must be delivered using non-public audio and video at the same time for the duration of the session. I understand that a caregiver must participate consistently throughout the entire 30 minute session (or duration identified on IEP) with my child. Teletherapy does not mean having a telephone call with my child’s therapist/teacher. I understand that I may request session notes from my child’s therapist.
