FASTT Telehealth Behavioral Support Service for Caregivers of Children With Developmental Delay or Disability

The Family Advice Support Text and Telephone (FASTT) service is a telehealth model that provides on-demand, evidence-based advice and support to reduce child behavior problems, address concerns about child development, and help manage stress for caregivers of children with DD. By using text and telephone, which are widely available without disparities in access by race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status, FASTT overcomes barriers associated with videoconferencing which requires dependable Internet and familiarity with technology use. FASTT allows support to be delivered at times and locations that are convenient for the caregiver.
