Telehealth is a promising modality for Part C early intervention (EI), services typically implemented face-to-face in home and community settings. Barriers to telehealth in EI reported prior to COVID-19 included lack of training and access to reliable internet. The abrupt telehealth shift at the onset of the pandemic did not permit a phased adoption approach. This mixed-methods study aimed to characterize perspectives of service changes resulting from the telehealth transition. Providers (n = 39) and caregivers (n = 11) completed surveys about perceptions towards the telehealth switch. All providers indicated at least one aspect of services had changed. Approximately half of caregivers reported satisfaction with services decreased and half that satisfaction remained the same. Implications for telehealth in EI beyond the pandemic are discussed.
