Unlocking the Power of Telehealth: Transforming Behavioral Therapy for Children in Europe

In recent years, the demand for behavioral therapy services for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities has grown significantly. However, a lack of available professionals has made access to these essential services difficult, particularly in Europe. Fortunately, telehealth has emerged as a promising solution, enabling the delivery of high-quality behavioral therapy from a distance. A recent review of telehealth practices in Europe sheds light on how practitioners can leverage this modality to improve outcomes for children and families.

By addressing these areas, researchers can contribute to the development of robust, evidence-based telehealth models that meet the needs of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and their families in Europe.
