Telehealth Resource Package

The Centre for Developmental Disability Health has developed a resource package to promote access to telehealth and provide further information on overall health maintenance – including physical and mental health, further resources and contacts so people can be better informed and know where to seek more information.

The package provides a general overview of known areas of concern for people with intellectual and/or developmental disability, workers and their supports. The resources have been designed to be used independently of or as an additional support to telehealth.
