A virtual therapeutic team (or VTT) is a group of qualified or experienced therapists who are geographically and organizationally dispersed but united by a common purpose. A VTT is maintained and coordinated through the use of communication technology. The VTT model was first developed by NCH a British children's charity, to provide flexible, specialist support for its services working with children who can not live with their birth families.
