Ready, Tele Go: Family Centred Telepractice

Researchers from the University of Sydney Centre for Disability Research and Policy, in collaboration with researchers from Monash University and Western Sydney University, partnered with Reimagine Australia to conduct a national survey to explore the experience of using telepractice to provide early childhood intervention and support.

The survey captured the experiences of 259 early childhood practitioners who were using telepractice as part of their service delivery. The information gathered from the survey forms part of a broader initiative that aims to strengthen public policy and enable workforce development by promoting the use of telepractice to the government. The first journal article, titled Early childhood practitioners experience of telepractice and its alignment with a family-centred approach is currently under review at the Journal of Child and Family Studies.

As part of the knowledge translation, the team has also created a practice companion on family centred telepractice titled Ready, Tele, Go!
