give an explanation of how to ensure presence and engagement in telehealth treatment, for both you and the client. Specifically:

• Provide two specific examples of what you could do if you see the client's attention wandering during the session.
• Address how you would monitor the client's focus if they do not choose to use the camera. Alternatively, what would you do if the distraction is the camera itself?
