Based on a survey of 40 social workers using video assisted visitation as part of family reunification work, this study identifies its perceived advantages and disadvantages. The advantages included connecting to the team, relationship maintenance, therapeutic value, access due to distance, and the added visual component. The disadvantages included the technology, age of the child, limitations of not being in person, and fear VAV would replace in-person visits. The discussion describes how to capitalize on the strengths and provides suggestions for how to work within the disadvantages.
