This approach required greater parent involvement to effectively implement virtually-delivered therapy sessions. Using a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, this study aimed to describe twelve (12) parents’ experiences in occupational teletherapy including the contextual and parental factors that enabled their engagement, to determine their perception of their Parental Self-Efficacy for teletherapy, and to derive evidences to support this perception using a researcher-developed self-report survey and semi-structured interviews. Results show that there is a complex interplay of contextual and parental factors that facilitated the parent’s assumption of the role of parent-therapists. There is evidence of parent engagement in the way parents participated actively in the sessions and generalized what they learned from teletherapy to other aspects of their children’s life. Parents perceive themselves as highly capable of performing the tasks that teletherapy entails. Specific elements from parent narratives support the presence of successful experiences, successful models, relevant feedback, and emotional readiness. Findings from the study can support an effective home-clinic continuum of care by contributing to the development of more responsive programs for children with autism and their families. This can be achieved by intentionally embedding opportunities to develop parents’ perceptions of self-efficacy for their children’s therapy, fostering meaningful parent-therapist partnerships, and considering home and family factors that support parent engagement in the interventions.
