Frequently Asked Questions Related to Virtual Early Intervention Visits During COVID-19 Declared State of Emergency

Dear Early Intervention Colleagues:

These Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) [links below] provide responses to many questions the Bureau of Early Intervention (BEI) has received about the use of telehealth/virtual early intervention visits. We recognize there are additional questions and will continue to work on responses to those in the coming days. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYCDOHMH) has provided guidance for teletherapy services, including evaluations, and a sample checklist with considerations to help the early intervention community navigate service delivery using teletherapy.
