Telepractice
About our Telepractice eLearning:
Telepractice refers to the use of technology to deliver early childhood intervention services and supports at a distance. Using telepractice, early childhood intervention practitioners can deliver services in the child’s natural environment, such as a family’s home, and parents are able to incorporate the daily routines of their family into the session activities.
Telepractice allows families to take the lead in their interaction with their child during the session. By allowing families hands-on practice with activities and engaging with their child, parents and caregivers are better enabled to support their child’s development during every day routines. Families are left feeling confident and more likely to incorporate activities into daily routines.
Research has shown telepractice to be very effective in achieving optimised outcomes for children with developmental delay and/or disability, in a family centred way, consistent with contemporary early childhood intervention best-practice.
This course has been designed to support and assist early childhood intervention practitioners to deliver quality services and supports via telepractice. Grounded in best practice principles, it provides practical guidance to support you in your work as an early childhood practitioner.
