Abstract:
This presentation will focus on the strategies and techniques of Real-Time Embedded Coaching. This technique includes “demonstration” and “return demonstration” as a method of helping parents enhance communication with their child. Embedded Coaching is a term applied to coaching a parent or primary caregiver and providing suggestions, while the caregiver is engaged in an activity with a child, rather than waiting until after the activity is over. The early interventionist is providing support to that caregiver in real-time by making comments and suggestions throughout the activity. Data collected from at least 10 families engaged in teletherapy sessions using embedded coaching and 10 families using embedded coaching during in-person visits will be reviewed in this session. Data will include parent learning and parent satisfaction, as well as child outcomes. Strategies that will be reviewed and explained include the following: -Organization of the parent-infant session, including all elements to be included -Importance of describing the critical features of the activity or technique being implemented -Capitalizing on knowledge about the parent’s current skills in working with her child -Capitalizing on information about the parent’s style of learning as an adult learner -Techniques for implementing embedded coaching into a parent-infant session This presentation will describe for the participants, through lecture, discussion, video tape and interactive activities how to effectively implement return demonstration and embedded coaching.
