Video Conferencing
By using video conferencing technology, two or more people in different locations can see and hear each other at the same time. This contemporary communication technology offers new possibilities in the area of treatment and professional activities. Videoconferencing 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 call is a lot like placing a telephone call. After you connect, you see the other person or persons in color video live.
Benefits:
As an interactive communication medium, two-way video stands out in a number of ways. It is almost like being there. The visual connection and interaction among participants enhances understanding and helps participants feel connected to each other.
This goes a long way toward building relationships in ways that telephones or e-mail cannot, by supporting collaboration among traditionally isolated facilities:
• Improves communication
• Increases depth of clinical programming
• Heightens motivation
• Increases connection to the outside world
• Bridges the travel gap
• Saves time away from work
