In this article, we provide a case example of how telehealth can be used by care providers in their homes to access empirically validated procedures such as functional communication training. As shown in the case example, complex assessment and intervention procedures were implemented successfully by care providers in their homes while receiving real-time coaching by behavior analysts who were located in a hospital in a different city. This case example is representative of the results we obtained thus far; substantial improvements in challenging and adaptive behavior occurred. Given these results obtained to date with telehealth, in terms of both outcomes of interventions and rated acceptability of the procedures by care providers, further and more widespread application of telehealth is warranted.

在本文中，我们提供了一个案例，说明护理人员如何在家中使用远程医疗来访问经经验验证的程序，例如功能沟通培训。如案例所示，护理人员在家中成功实施了复杂的评估和干预程序，同时接受位于不同城市医院的行为分析师的实时指导。这个案例代表了我们迄今为止获得的结果；挑战性和适应性行为发生了显着改善。鉴于迄今为止通过远程医疗获得的这些结果，就干预结果和护理提供者对程序的可接受程度而言，远程医疗的进一步和更广泛的应用是有必要的。
