Abstract

Telehealth technology for application in home healthcare for adult persons with developmental disabilities was examined. Utilization of telehealth by clinicians, including the physician, nurse and physician assistant, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech language pathologist, the dietitian, and psychologist for the healthcare needs of adults with developmental disabilities is discussed. Such utilization results in improved access to needed health services by reducing time and distance for this population. A telehealth model is offered, as are shifts in healthcare using telehealth technology in home health.
