However, individual differences in family resources impacted their ability to access services. To ensure compliance with ethical guidelines and strive toward equitable provision of services, barriers and needs were assessed and addressed individually. In this talk, first, considerations in providing equitable services via telehealth will be discussed. Then, data on effectiveness of telehealth direct therapy with patients of varied backgrounds will be presented. Finally, a method of assessing treatment integrity will be shared with an emphasis on ensuring equitable care moving forward.
