Teleconsultation to Support the Education of Students with Visual Impairments: A Program Evaluation
Ihorn, Shasta M.; Arora, Prerna
Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation, v28 n3 p319-341 2018
Teleconsultation is being increasingly used in schools to support children with disabilities; however, further evaluation of the impact of this practice is needed. This study describes a teleconsultation model used to provide educational support for students with visual impairments being educated in their local school districts and examines the initial acceptability and feasibility of this teleconsultation model. In addition, the current study discusses some of the recommendations for improvement regarding program implementation, with the goal of increasing the ease of use of teleconsultation in schools. Stakeholders reported qualitative and quantitative data indicating that the teleconsultation model is acceptable to and feasible for families and school district staff.
