Teleintervention: Strategies for Effective Sessions
Teleintervention (TI) is a service delivery model that is widely utilized to connect families of children with hearing loss to early interventionists. Research has shown the effectiveness of TI services when using a coaching model, as well as the ability to uphold Part C requirements (Blaiser et al, 2013; Houston et al, 2015). When providing services over the internet, early interventionists must employ unique strategies to ensure a successful family session. Such strategies include assessing the home environment from a distance, using appropriate learning materials, considering and supporting family needs, and planning. In addition, early interventionists must use specific functional strategies that allow for successful use of technology. This presentation will address these strategies and how they allow for more effective sessions when utilizing the TI service delivery model. Through the use of these strategies, sessions run more smoothly, the family-provider relationship is strengthened, families gain confidence integrating listening and spoken language techniques into their daily routines and activities, and ultimately, families become more empowered to improve their children’s listening and spoken language proficiency. The presenter will share videos to demonstrate the use of the strategies and challenge attendees to consider how they can implement these strategies in both TI and in-person sessions to enhance the services they provide.
