By the end of this course, you will also be able to review the steps to determine if a patient is appropriate for teletherapy, what your role is as a hand therapist, and how to use this method to provide the same quality care as traditional face to face therapy sessions. Lastly, Michelle will share recorded clips of real recorded teletherapy sessions and you will be provided with a recommended set up checklist to start you on your way to starting teletherapy.
