Abstract
<p>Telemental health continues to emerge as the new wave of the modem health care delivery system, and psychotherapy sessions will routinely take place with geographically distant therapists and clients who are deaf or hard of hearing. Consequently, there is a critical need for best practices for such services including the development of informed consent and provider procedure guidelines for the telemental health delivery system serving this population. Sample informed consent forms and telemental health service guidelines are provided.</p>
