Tele-health and clinical assessment (tele-assessment)

Psychological tele-assessment is the provision of psychological assessment through the use of remote tele-health (predominantly video-based) platforms. Although some assessment methods (like clinical interviews and surveys) have a robust and long-standing history of research validating the data that emerge from tele-assessments, other methods (like cognitive and academic tests) have much less research, and still others (like play-based autism evaluations) are not feasible to accomplish through tele-assessment techniques. This paper presents the current state of the literature on conducting valid and ethical tele-assessments.
