Less stress for the kids to leave their activities to come to our office
 

No need to battle Atlanta traffic and saves travel time anyway
 

It is so nice to see the children in their own home environments
 

Everyone seems to be much more relaxed
 

The children have enjoyed the novelty of talking to me on video and when they are done they can go back to their activities
 

Parents can provide height and weight measurements so that I can  get a good sense of their growth
 

I can interact with the children, have them perform some tasks , observe their performance and get a good sense of their overall neurological function
 

If there are any medical problems or health concerns, I can review their medical records and discuss the concerns with their doctors
 

We are still able to discuss parents’ concerns and together develop strategies for making progress
 

As usual we have the developmental and behavioral assessments for children at the first visits and, where necessary and appropriate, for follow up visits
 

An unexpected benefit of the video visits it that we can see families from anywhere in the country and it is as if we are in the same room!
