Toronto, ON, Jan. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kinark Autism Services, a division of Kinark Child and Family Services (Kinark), has published its latest research brief on best practices in virtual autism services and recommendations to maximize the potential of virtual care to make needed supports more readily available and less costly for families.
Overall, Kinark's review found that virtual services are an effective and sustainable method of support with outcomes that are comparable to some in-person services.
During COVID-19 service shut-downs and in-person restrictions, virtual services were seen to be a necessary, but temporary, adaptation to more traditional in-person services for children with autism spectrum disorder.
Virtual services can include Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Occupational Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), and support services for conditions commonly associated with autism such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders.
