Video Conferencing

Eau Claire Academy has video conferencing capabilities. By using video conferencing technology, two or more people in different locations can see and hear each other at the same time.

Video conferencing is a cost-effective communication tool that can save time away from work for parents, agencies, and clinicians by eliminating the need for travel. Placing a video conferencing call is much like placing a telephone call. Once connected people can see and hear the other person or persons in color, video live.

• Improves communication

• Heightens motivation
• Bridges the travel gap
• Saves time away from work
• Increases safety/reduces "travel risks" for youth
