The workgroup discussed extending the final report timeline and continued reviewing recommendations regarding the use of Live Video Visits (LVV) for intake and assessments. Key discussions focused on identifying standardized assessment tools appropriate for LVV across speech, occupational therapy, and social work disciplines to ensure consistent practice. Members debated a recommendation for a unified statewide virtual platform to simplify the family experience and ensure HIPAA and FERPA compliance.
