Patient/parent/legal guardian guide to getting the most out of your Teletherapy session
1. How can we make sure our internet works well for the session?
Use a strong Wi-Fi signal or plug your device directly into the internet with an Ethernet cable. Restart your router and device before the session and try to limit streaming or gaming on other devices at the same time.

2. What device should we use?
A computer, laptop or tablet with a webcam works best. Mobile phones will work; however they may have smaller screens and/or weaker connections.
