Editor's Notes
- Recording - We will be adding closed captions to the recording for accessibility and will share it with you as soon as it’s ready Audio - you have all been muted. If you have questions at any point during the webinar, you can use the Q&A function to ask them (Point out where they can find it). We will do our best to answer all of your questions towards the end, but if we don’t get to them we will follow up with you by email afterwards. If we have time we will also unmute people individually to ask questions You can use the chat function (point out where to find it) to share observations or reactions to anything you’re hearing. To do this, please make sure it’s set to “all participants.” If you need tech help, you can set the chat to go to “host and panelists.”
- I don’t understand how you can do this work through telehealth My kid won’t sit still and pay attention I don’t want the therapist to see what a mess my house is/see my family’s chaos I didn’t even realize this was an option for us
