简要总结
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, telecoaching/telepractice models are of urgent importance. Given this, parents in the study will receive parent coaching through weekly video calls. To help us understand the best types of telecoaching, we will offer all participants responsive coaching, with half of the participants receiving an additional opportunity to reflect on their own use of language strategies with a therapist using video feedback and the other half receiving responsive coaching as usual, without video feedback. This information is important in helping us to understand the best way to coach parents using a telepractice model so that parents implement the intervention at high fidelity. Furthermore, we will aim to understand how parent learning style may also influence the implementation of these strategies.

结局指标
主要结局
Parent Use of Language Support Strategies (Mother-child interaction)
时间窗: Two months after the start of the study
Mother use of intervention strategies will be measured by transcribing and coding mother behaviors during 12-minute parent-child interactions, using a standard set of toys. The primary dependent variable will be the amount of correct strategy used expressed as a percentage correct. This is the percentage of child communication to which the adult responds correctly (i.e., contingently and within 5 seconds).
次要结局
