The spring of 2020 forced a question that the ABA field had been gradually exploring for years: can behavior-analytic services be delivered effectively through telehealth. This CASP Telehealth Tuesday session, featuring Joy Pollard, Linda LeBlanc, and Michelle Silcox, captured the profession at a pivotal moment when telehealth shifted from an emerging service model to an urgent necessity.

During the pandemic, CASP will hold a call every Tuesday at 11:00 PT/2:00 ET via Zoom. Providers should submit questions by the prior Friday evening. A selection of members from the CASP Telehealth Task Force, led by Dr. Joy Pollard, will then guide the general meeting based upon prior submissions, as well as questions that come in during the webinar. Effective May 26, 2020 these meetings will be held every 2 weeks and include a 10-15 minute demonstration of a telehealth technology platform. Please note: These demonstrations do not imply CASP endorsement. Questions addressed in this presentation include: If we are running a social skills group via telehealth, would the RBT bill 97154 for each child in the group? And if the funder covers Q3014, should this be attached to all clients or only one client? As an organization who is solely providing telehealth services during the pandemic, are there any guidelines we should follow when transitioning back to in-home services? Is it ethical for the parent to serve as a proxy when conducting an assessment, such as the VB-MAPP? Any updates from Optum on extending their approval of telehealth for ABA services without additional authorizations? I'm wondering if there will be federal funding in place to help our families with homeschooling our children. Times are uncertain and loosing my son's team of nearly 15 people has been incredibly difficult. All the work that those providers did is now on us. We can't work our regular jobs being at home now.
