dc.description.abstract | In 2020, public health measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic galvanized the rapid use of technology in the early child development and intervention (ECDI) sector in British Columbia (BC). At this time, ECDI leaders in BC identified the need for community voices to inform the long-term uptake and potential of technology in this sector to connect with and provide services to families virtually (in addition to in-person). Also, to address the long-standing challenges in accessing community-based ECDI services and support experienced by many families living in northern and rural parts of BC (Gerlach et al., 2023). The research started in mid-2021 and information on research activities and outputs is available on the ‘Community Voices on Tapping into Tech’ project website. | |
