Evaluating the Feasibility of a Play-Based Telehealth Intervention Program for Children with Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Eight kids with Prader-Willi syndrome joined six weeks of play-based telehealth sessions.

Therapists ran the games through a computer screen while families stayed home.

The team counted how many sessions each child finished and asked parents if the set-up felt easy.

Kids finished about eleven of the twelve planned games.

Parents said the screen-time therapy was simple and worth doing again.

No family dropped out, showing the rare-syndrome group can stick with remote care.

Christovão et al. (2024) will test the same remote style with toddlers who have cerebral palsy, but adds a stronger study design.

Capio et al. (2013) looked at fifteen studies where iPads taught kids with developmental delay; their positive tech results line up with this telehealth win.

Schlebusch et al. (2024) ran a short three-session caregiver program in South Africa and also saw high acceptability, proving brief remote help works across goals.

You now have proof that play therapy can travel through a screen for Prader-Willi cases.

Try offering a six-week telehealth game block the next time distance, illness, or scarce staff blocks in-person visits.

Start with one fun activity, check bandwidth, and track session completion like Anastasia did.
