Once upon a time, the BOLD Pediatric Therapy Center was a bustling hub of activity. Children of all ages would come and go, accompanied by their families and caregivers, to receive a wide range of therapy services. From speech and language therapy to physical and occupational therapy, the center provided a supportive and nurturing environment where children could thrive and reach their full potential.

However, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, everything changed. Suddenly, it was no longer safe for families and therapists to gather in person, and the center had to close its doors. The staff at BOLD were devastated – how were they going to continue providing therapy services to their patients in the midst of a pandemic?

But then, a new idea emerged: telehealth. Telehealth is the use of video conferencing technology to connect patients with their healthcare providers remotely. With a little bit of creativity and a lot of hard work, the team at BOLD was able to transition their therapy services to a virtual platform.

It wasn't easy, of course. There were many challenges to overcome. For starters, not all families had access to the technology needed for telehealth appointments. The BOLD team had to work closely with families to provide support and resources to ensure that everyone had what they needed to connect virtually.

Then, there was the issue of adapting therapy services to a virtual environment. The therapists had to get creative, using online games and activities to engage their patients and keep them motivated. They had to think outside the box to replicate the sensory experiences that were so important to many of their patients.

Despite these challenges, the team at BOLD persevered. They remained committed to providing the best possible care to their patients, even in the midst of a pandemic. And slowly but surely, they began to see the results of their hard work. Patients were making progress, and families were grateful for the continued support.

As the pandemic began to wane, the team at BOLD faced a new challenge: transitioning back to in-person services. But they were ready. They had learned so much through their telehealth experience – about resilience, about creativity, and about the power of connection. And as they opened their doors once again, they were confident that they could continue to provide the same high-quality care that they always had – whether in person or online.
