![]() Since telehealth has been shown to be an effective service-delivery modality (e.g., Neely et al., 2016 Wacker et al., 2013b), practitioners and clients alike may opt to continue with telehealth when these or other barriers to in-person services arise. ![]() Telehealth is a viable option when limited provider availability may not be easily remedied and the overall health and safety of practitioners is a risk (CASP, 2021 Gerow et al., 2021b). Variables that may favor telehealth service delivery include lack of access to a local provider (e.g., Tsami et al., 2019 Wacker et al., 2013a), costs of services ( Gerow et al., 2021b), or, as experienced most recently when most in-person activities were prevented, restrictions imposed due to a global pandemic (e.g., Gerow et al., 2021b Sivaraman et al., 2021). There are several reasons that may impact the availability of in-person clinical service delivery. Limitations of telehealth literature include exclusion of teen and adult participants, limited description of prerequisite skills and evaluations of direct telehealth interventions. We found thorough descriptions of participants and implementers, implementer training, and social validity evaluations. Therefore, we aimed to extend prior telehealth literature reviews by evaluating current research across variables important for telehealth service-delivery involving individuals with ASD. Despite potential roles in telehealth service-delivery models, a careful review of participant prerequisite skills, implementer characteristics (e.g., experience, education), technology variables (e.g., HIPAA compliance), and skill(s) targeted (i.e., mastered or untrained skills) have not been considered. Although there is empirical support for telehealth as an effective service-delivery option, important variables (e.g., costs, implementer training) remain unknown. Evaluating evidence supporting telehealth remains valuable, especially as there has been increased accessibility since the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the early 2000s, telehealth has been used to provide behavior analytic intervention to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
