SAN ANTONIO – A University of Texas at San Antonio project is helping autism therapy transition to telehealth by training clinicians as the need for the service has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“One of the things we’ve been investigating since 2013 really was telehealth and how we can use telehealth to expand services, to augment services and to really just improve overall what we’re doing for the community,” said Leslie Neely, associate professor of educational psychology at UTSA.
Last year, clinicians at the Autism Treatment Center were trained on telehealth by UTSA faculty from the Department of Educational Psychology.
