Child and Adolescent Practice SIG Update

By Jill Thurber, PhD – CCAP SIG President

On November 19, 2021 the SCCAP Clinical Child and Adolescent Practice (CCAP) SIG hosted a virtual roundtable where we discussed clinical experiences providing telehealth to children and adolescents. Fifteen participants reviewed relevant articles prior to the round table discussion as a backdrop for sharing their individual experiences in delivering effective evidence-based treatment to children and adolescents using telemedicine. All participants earned free 1.5 CE for attending as part of their SCCAP membership and participation in the CCAP SIG. The learning objectives were:

Describe at least two types of services offered to children and adolescents through telehealth.
Identify and describe at least two benefits to using telehealth for children, adolescents, and their families.
Identify and describe at least two limitations to using telehealth for children, adolescents, and families.

Panelists:
David Factor, Ph.D., C.Psych.
Amanda L. Mendez, Psy.D
Jonathan Perle, PhD, ABPP
Heather J. Risser, Ph.D.

Moderator:
Jill Thurber, Ph.D
