A systematic review titled "What are the perspectives of speech pathologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists on using telehealth videoconferencing for service delivery to children with developmental delays?" sheds light on the multifaceted perspectives of healthcare professionals on this emerging modality. This blog aims to help practitioners improve their skills by implementing the outcomes of this research or by encouraging them to delve further into the topic.
