SWTRC COVID-19 UPDATES - MARCH 2022

National Developmental Disability Awareness Month

Bringing You Up To Date Regional Information

 

Telehealth Inclusion

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the widespread use of telehealth. Among people with disabilities, particularly those in rural areas, studies indicate telehealth provides many benefits. However, technology needs to be accessible and appropriately matched to the needs of the patient. This is important now, as well as in the future.

This month, we’re providing resources related to Telehealth inclusion.

The ADA National Network consists of 10 regional ADA Centers and an ADA Knowldedge Translation Center.
