Jenny Kattlove, director of strategic health initiatives for The Children’s Partnership, said that with the growing number of children with autism disorders, telehealth is an effective way to provide appropriate care to those who may not otherwise receive it — especially children in rural areas with limited access to specialists.
The Children’s Partnership is a strong advocate of technology and specifically of using telehealth in schools to augment health services. Research by the organization, in collaboration with Public Health Institute/Health Technology Center, is a testament to its commitment.
