Study Notes
Barriers to Underserved Clients
- Underserved clients face amplified barriers when they also have a disability, including transportation issues, lower SES, underinsurance, and rural residence.
Considerations for Visually Impaired Clients
- Take the perspective of the client and use orientation heuristics, such as clock positions, to direct them.
- Maintain a consistent path to and from things, and reorient if furniture is rearranged or if using a different room/environment.
- Paths that involve a small number of turns or are more straightforward, even if longer, are preferred.
Telepsychology for Child Cases
- Telepsychology needs for child cases may differ from adult cases, and practitioners should adjust their care accordingly.
- Important considerations include developing an understanding of telepsychology in child patients and working with minors and special populations.
Special Populations
- Special populations include individuals with disabilities, economically disadvantaged families, single parents, out-of-workforce individuals, homeless individuals, and youth in or aged out of foster care.
Guiding Principles
Access and Autonomy
- Enable equal access to service while respecting the individual's autonomy.
Respect
- Address clients with the language they prefer regarding their disability.
- Avoid assuming a physical disability implies a mental disability or IDD.
Descriptiveness
- Be descriptive when explaining the counseling environment and process to help build the therapeutic alliance.
- Avoid using psychojargon to better accommodate IDD, for instance.
Routineness and Consistency
- Keep needed materials in the same place every time to maintain consistency.
Patient Advocacy
- Recognize that systems and social environments are not built for people with disabilities and may be invalidating, requiring advocacy.
Accessible Technologies
- Utilize video remote interpreting and assistive technology to provide accessible services to those with visual or hearing impairments.
Establishing Rapport with Children
- Use stories, toys, and technologies to establish a strong patient-provider relationship over telecommunications.
Awareness of Child Abuse and Neglect
- Develop an awareness of the possibility of child abuse and neglect, which can be more difficult to detect over telehealth.
Adaptations for Children with Disabilities
- Adapt treatment for children with disabilities, medical needs, language barriers, and low-income homes.
- Use appropriate screening methods to determine telepsychology fit, considering environmental factors and the ability of the family to create an optimal testing and service environment.
