    Monday, May 5, 2025
    11:45 AM – 12:15 PM ET
    Location: Hall BCD
    This session explores the Virtual Intensive Engagement and Wraparound (VIEW) program, which provides accessible virtual therapy for youth of all backgrounds and abilities. VIEW integrates video game-assisted therapy, medication management, the RUBI Autism Network’s parent training model to support families, while also serving as a Center of Excellence for autism diagnosis and treatment. Attendees will learn how to implement these strategies in their communities while ensuring HIPAA compliance and cybersecurity. The session highlights how VIEW’s remote care model promotes equitable access to care, supports workforce retention through flexible work options, and fosters inclusion, improving behavioral health outcomes for underserved populations.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Identify how the VIEW program integrates virtual therapies, including video game-assisted and play therapies, alongside medication management, to support youth with autism and intellectual delays.
    • Discuss the implementation of HIPAA-compliant cybersecurity protocols for secure, remote care delivery, and how these protocols ensure privacy and confidentiality in virtual therapy sessions.
    • Explore strategies for improving workforce retention through flexible, remote work options, and how these models promote an inclusive environment for community-based behavioral health services.
    • Gain a deeper understanding of how increasing the utilization of appropriate services, such as intensive outpatient and wraparound care, can lead to a significant decrease in overall healthcare costs for families and youth, while simultaneously improving clinical outcomes and reducing the reliance on higher-cost emergent and inpatient services.
