Using Teleconferencing to Meet the Needs of Children, 0 to 3 Years Old, with Disabilities in Rural Areas
Buchter, Jennifer; Riggleman, Samantha
Rural Special Education Quarterly, v37 n3 p176-182 Sep 2018
Serving families who live in rural communities can be a challenge for early intervention programs. Factors, such as travel, family needs, and limited program and community resources, have been identified as ongoing barriers for this population. Technology, specifically teleconferencing, can be a solution to provide equitable services compliant with Part C of Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; 2004) mandates and professional practices. This article will discuss how to determine whether teleconference technology is a good fit and how to individualize, plan, and implement technology to support families in rural communities. It will also discuss legal and practical considerations that must be taken into account when using teleconferencing to discuss service delivery.
