“…Only one study reported separate demographics for the 0–3 age range (Tariq et al, 2019), with M age = 30 months (60% male). Three of the remaining studies did not report the mean age (Ciccia, Whitford, Krumm, & McNeal, 2011; Duda, Daniels, & Wall, 2016; Maleka, Van Der Line, Page Glascoe, & Swanepoel, 2016), whereas the other three studies reported only the mean age and gender breakdown of all participants, including those who were over 3 years old (Obeid, Beekman, Roizen, Ciccia, & Short, 2019; Smith et al, 2017; Tariq et al, 2018).…”

“…In terms of ethnicity, four studies reported a breakdown of ethnicities. Maleka et al (2016) and Obeid et al (2019) examined a majority of African or African American participants (>93%), whereas Smith et al (2017) examined a majority of Caucasian (41%) and Hispanic (43%) participants. Tariq et al (2019) examined only Bangladeshi participants, who were located in a primarily urban location (92.7%).…”

“…Tariq et al (2018) initially tested the technology-based assessment in a clinical U.S. sample before applying the tool to a low-resource sample in Bangladesh (Tariq et al, 2019). Minimal caregiver information was provided, with only one study (Obeid et al, 2019) reporting a primarily female sample (92%), whose education level was mostly high school or below (62%) or either some college or a college degree (33%). See Table 1 for the breakdown of the aforementioned demographic data…”

“…The final seven articles were grouped by type of technology used to assess or screen for early signs of neurodevelopmental delays or disabilities. This included four articles examining videoconferencing or video analysis (Ciccia et al, 2011; Smith et al, 2017; Tariq et al, 2018, 2019) and three articles examining mobile or web applications (Duda et al, 2016; Maleka et al, 2016; Obeid et al, 2019). The reviewed studies included both screening and assessment tools, with four articles implementing a technology-based developmental delay and/or ASD screener and three articles implementing a technology-based assessment for ASD diagnosis.…”

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) impacts an individual's developmental trajectory across several domains, supporting the importance of early detection and identification, which is ultimately the first step toward treatment planning. Children should be exposed to an ASD screening at 18 and 24 months of age, but such services are not always available across demographic groups or accessible to underserved communities. Screenings can be especially limited in circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic or other situations dictating that people stay at home. Thus, it is important to expand the accessibility of assessment services that can provide accurate identification of ASD in young children through the use of technology such as video or mobile application platforms. This systematic review aimed to summarize the state of the literature as it relates to accessible telehealth assessments and screening tools for infants and toddlers suspected to have ASD in remote populations. Seven studies that utilized video or mobile applications to assess young children in underserved communities were found, including individuals within their first 3 years of life. Although some positive results were found regarding effectiveness, there is a need for more sustainable research for this age group, especially for those with limited access to services. Clinical Impact StatementThis systematic review aimed to understand the current video-and mobile applicationbased assessments that have been used to assess infants and toddlers in remote areas who are suspected to have autism spectrum disorder. Findings suggest that there are a limited number of studies that utilize telehealth platforms in underserved communities. The seven studies found did reveal effectiveness of these telehealth assessment tools, but there is still a strong need for more research in this area.

“…These are times of great change and, in these moments, the opportunity to develop new and valuable patterns of care should be seized 41 . Telemedicine in pediatric clinics has already been trialed 42 and not only facilitates increased access to specialist review for geographically dispersed patients 43 but also offers the additional insights of reviewing children in their own homes and with their families. Why not adapt similar methods for the long‐term follow‐up of MC pregnancies by central fetal therapy centers?…”
