According to Gurupur and Miao (2022), challenges in telehealth implementation in rural areas are in three broad areas: profitability of implementing telehealth, the rural populations efficacy in using telehealth, and the availability of wired and wireless networks. More specifically, rural communities lack access to the infrastructure needed to implement telehealth and effective reimbursement models (Gurupur & Miao, 2022).

In order for their treatment to be improved, psychologists and those who work with the developmentally disabled must create training programs that allow the deaf to learn through their unique methods of communication.
