How a telehealth session works
-
Booking: You’ll receive a link and appointment confirmation by email.
-
Setup: Your OT helps you position your camera to show your space or task.
-
Session: The OT observes, listens, and offers guidance or exercises in real time.
-
Follow-up: You’ll receive notes, action steps, or reports (where needed).
Sessions usually last 45–60 minutes, depending on the goal.
