For your telehealth session to be as effective as possible, it's important to ensure good connectivity and a suitable environment. Here are some tips to get the most out of your session:

  • Optimal Screen and Location: Use the largest screen available to you, whether it's a phone, tablet, or computer. Find a quiet and distraction-free space in your home for the session. It's a good idea to test your connection by logging into our waiting room (you can access our TELE platform through Tebra).
  • Network Connection: To ensure a stable connection, be close to your Wi-Fi router or in a location with the best signal possible within your home.
  • Stable Device Position: Keep your device stationary on a table or stand, and position yourself about 2-3 feet from the screen. This setup helps in clear visualization, especially if your child is asked to perform tasks in front of the camera.
  • Connection Backup: Don't worry if the connection is lost; we have a backup plan. We may switch to a phone call or an alternative method to ensure continuity.
  • Minimize Background Noise: Try to keep the background noise to a minimum. Avoid having the TV or music on during the session. Ensure pets are kept quiet or out of the room entirely.
  • Child-Friendly Setup: If you have a child participating in the session, consider setting up a child-size table or play area with 3-4 toys within view of the camera. This setup can help engage your child effectively.
Canvas DX has been meticulously researched and shown to accurately identify autism or absence thereof.
