Telehealth Evaluations
Can you do evaluations through telehealth?
Yes. Many forensic and psychological evaluations can be done online.
Are they as good as in-person evaluations?
Evaluations conducted virtually have similar findings to in-person evaluations. Existing and ongoing research supports this.
What do I or my client need?
For virtual evaluations, examinees need access to a private space, a good internet connection, and audio and video. Computers (laptop or desktop) are best, and tablets are acceptable. Completing evaluations by phone is not recommended.
Dr. Ratkalkar will work with you to decide the best time and method for connecting with a telehealth evaluation as securely as possible. She will also help you with the technology involved so you or your clients can perform their best.
