Access to the internet has steadily increased over thepast decade (Meadan & Daczewitz, 2015), with 78.50% offamilies reporting that they have access to the internet withspeeds fast enough to use video conferencing services.Increased access to the internet makes the use oftelehealth, the delivery of health services via internet andvideo conferencing technology, a more viable and cost-effective service-delivery option for EI services (Little et al.,2018). A growing body of research examining the use oftelehealth has demonstrated that this method of servicedelivery is a viable option for EI, either by itself or incombination with in-person visits (Baggett, et al., 2010;Cason, 2011; Little, Wallisch, Pope, & Dunn, 2018).Many young children who have developmental delaysor disabilities fail to receive EI services. This is particularlyapplicable to families who live in rural areas; these familiesare at increased risk of not receiving EI services and/or maynot have access to appropriate specialists (Adams, & Tapia,2013; Baharav & Reiser, 2010; Cason, 2011; Rosenberg,Zhang, & Robinson, 2008; Vismara, Young & Rogers,2012).Telehealth is also a way to overcome barriers faced byproviders. Providers may find it difficult to deliver in-persontherapy due to scheduling difficulties, illness, and/orchallenging weather conditions.Importantly, telehealth both necessitates and supportsthe use of family coaching strategies (Stredler-Brown,2017). These strategies have been shown to increase familyengagement and empowerment as families learn to applywhat they have learned to their daily routines (Baharav &Reiser, 2010; Cason, 2011; Vismara et al., 2012).According to several research studies conducted with youngchildren with Autism Spectrum Disorder, telehealth results inmore active family engagement (Baggett, et al., 2010;Baharv & Reiser, 2010; Ingersoll, Straiton, Casagrande, &Pickard, 2016; Meadan & Daczewitz, 2015; Vismara et al.,2012), resulting in high levels of parent empowerment andself-efficacy, as well as positive child outcomes (Little et al.,2018; Vismara et al., 2012; Wainer & Ingersoll, 2015).According to Wainer and Ingersoll (2015), parents indicatedthat services delivered via telehealth were “acceptable,useable, and effective

Solution
The passage discusses the increasing use and benefits of telehealth, particularly for Early Intervention (EI) services for young children with developmental delays or disabilities. The rise in internet access has made telehealth a more feasible and cost-effective option for delivering these services.
Telehealth has been shown to be an effective method for EI, either on its own or in combination with in-person visits. It is especially beneficial for families in rural areas who may not have access to appropriate specialists or EI services.
Telehealth also addresses challenges faced by providers, such as scheduling difficulties, illness, and challenging weather conditions that may hinder in-person therapy.
Furthermore, telehealth supports the use of family coaching strategies, which have been shown to increase family engagement and empowerment. Research studies have shown that telehealth results in more active family engagement, leading to high levels of parent empowerment and self-efficacy, as well as positive child outcomes.
In conclusion, parents have found services delivered via telehealth to be acceptable, usable, and effective.
