Online Therapy Services – Helpful Hints for Positive Sessions

● Make sure that you place your computer and child in a quiet space free of distractions (e.g., toys, hand held devices). Eliminate all background noise (i.e. TV, conversations including phone, siblings playing, etc.).

● Adjust the computer and web camera at an appropriate level where the child can see the monitor and the therapist can see the child's face.

● Make sure there is appropriate lighting so the child’s face is visible. The best source of light is overhead.

● Have your child sit at a table or desk to engage him in the learning process. The sofa lacks the physical support needed for active learning.

● Avoid swivel chairs if you think they might interfere with your child’s ability to focus.

● Always check that the microphone setting on the computer is set to the headset microphone and not to the computer or web camera microphone. All background noise will be heard if the microphone is not set up properly. The Zoom Help Line via phone or Chat is ready to help if you have questions.

● Avoid streaming videos on other computers, televisions or other devices during your child's session. Any simultaneous Internet usage may reduce bandwidth and compromise the quality of the online session.

● Make sure your child is dressed appropriately for school at the start of therapy.

● Make sure the Learning Coach is nearby to assist with any questions or issues that may arise.

● Make sure to turn on your computer and log onto the platform a few minutes before your scheduled session so that the set up process does not cut into therapy time.

● Plan meals in advance so that your child is not hungry during therapy. Eating should be avoided during therapy time.

I appreciate your support in helping me provide the best service we can for your child.
