ABSTRACT
This systematic review aimed to evaluate the evidence for the outcomes of telehealth occupational therapy service delivery versus traditional in-person service delivery for children during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using three academic databases, a search string including the following keywords, telehealth, occupational, and child, returned 825 articles. Five articles were selected for full-text review after screening and employing the inclusion/exclusion criteria. A quality appraisal was completed, leaving two articles in this systematic review. Researchers found that moderate evidence supports the use of telehealth to disseminate occupational therapy service delivery. Researchers also found substantial evidence that supports the use of telehealth in overall satisfaction with services compared to traditional in-person therapy services. This systematic review confirms that telehealth has improved access to occupational therapy services. Further research needs to be conducted on the efficacy of specific interventions in the telehealth setting. © 2023 Taylor & Francis.
