Wood K, Olson K, Sharpe J, Fleck M, Hine J, Bussanich P (facilitator). 2021. 2021 Autism Acceptance Month Coffee Talk Recording: Reaching Families Through Telemedicine [Title on resource: SPHARC Coffee Talk #1: Reaching Families Through Telemedicine: Vanderbilt's Early Assessment, Intervention, and Part C Mentorship Program for ASD]. [Washington, DC]: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, SPHARC; Nashville, TN: Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Vanderbilt Kennedy Center, 1 h 00 m 18 s. (SPHARC Coffee Talk)

Annotation: One of a series of four Coffee Talks given in April 2021, this presentation discusses Vanderbilt's TRIAD (Treatment and Research Institute for Autism Spectrum Disorders) program. The presentation covers the implementation and evaluation of telemedicine services for autism assessment and intervention, particularly focusing on reaching underserved rural communities. It outlines the program's development from 2014-2019, including their tele-diagnostic consultation service model, the TELE-ASD-PEDS assessment tool (Telemedicine-based ASD Assessment in Toddlers), and outcome data comparing in-person, hybrid, and telemedicine-only service delivery methods. Data from a satisfaction survey compares effectiveness across all delivery methods in terms of treatment fidelity, communication improvements, the discussion covers the benefits of telemedicine services, such as reduced wait times, increased accessibility, and cost savings for families. The program's TEAM Opp initiative specifically focuses on building capacity in rural and under-resourced areas by partnering with local agencies and training developmental therapists, with satisfaction surveys indicating strong positive feedback from both providers and caregivers regarding the telehealth services.
