Has anyone made any successful attempts at reaching out to physical therapists to observe via telehealth? I have seen that some schools will be accepting telehealth observation hours in the 2020-2021 cycle, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic (the area I live in is very much still "shut down" and most clinics and hospitals are not currently letting in any guests/volunteers and have not allowed this since March). It feels a little awkward to reach out to PTs right now to ask if you can do this, considering they themselves are probably dealing with a lot due to the changes.
If anyone has any experience in this regard please let me know.
