Commentary on: Tomlinson SRL, Gore N, McGill P. Family carer and professional perceptions of the potential use of telehealth for behavioural support. J Intellect Disabil Res. 2023;67:531–46. doi: 10.1111/jir.13026.

Healthcare professionals need training to effectively use telehealth platforms for behavioural interventions. Further research is required to explore diverse populations’ perspectives and experiences and evaluate technical barriers, long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of telehealth for behavioural support.
