A Report on the Effectiveness of Tele-Intervention Using Real-Time Embedded Coaching
The Moog Center for Deaf Education engaged in a 15 month tele-intervention project with ten families from around the United States. This project was designed to further develop and expand the Tele-School program for children, ages 0-3, and their families, at the Moog Center. The program included 1) an initial meeting at the Moog Center to meet the family, evaluate the child and practice with technology; 2) Delivery to parents of a total of 722 online coaching sessions, 3) a three-day final meeting of all families and children at Moog Center in June, 2014 to conduct final evaluations, discuss transition from the Tele-Intervention program, de-brief families regarding their experience in the program and elicit recommendations for the future and 4) Moog staff mentors met bi-weekly to discuss the project and make modifications as needed. This presentation will be a report of that project and will include results as well as lessons learned.
Results from the MacArthur-Bates Communication Development Inventories indicate that the number of expressive vocabulary words at the beginning ranged from 0-173 and at the end ranged from 206-606, while the results of the Preschool Performance Scale-5 indicate that all children made more than a year’s growth in a year’s time except one child who was already in the average range at the beginning. Standard Scores on the PLS-5 ranged from 60-102 at the beginning and 81-114 at the end of the project.
Lessons learned include:
• Changes needed to be made to our face-to-face sessions because parents participating in Tele-Intervention seemed more engaged and accountable than families being served face-to-face.
• Tele-Intervention is an effective service delivery model.
This presentation will describe for the participants, through lecture, discussion, video tape and interactive activities how to effectively implement tele-intervention sessions using real-time embedded coaching.
- list at least three outcomes of effective tele-intervention
- describe at least three strategies for engaging parents and primary caregivers in tele-intervention sessions
- explain components of a successful tele-intervention session
