“…For example, (Baggett et al, 2010), and a web-based adaptation of the Head Start program "Incredible Years" showed high parental achievement toward self-reported goals after completing the program (Taylor et al, 2008), with parents' behavioral change and satisfaction comparable to the original home visiting model. However, despite some advantages for online learning, there are known shortcomings to this approach, including lower completion rates and levels of engagement which somewhat mitigate the benefits in reduced logistics and related scaling costs (Christensen, Horn, & Johnson, 2008).…”

This research investigated the efficacy of a pilot version of an online parent intervention that combined LENA-based automated language environment feedback technology with internet capabilities. Seventy-two parents of typically developing children 9-21 months of age were assigned to immediate-or delayed-treatment (control) conditions. During the treatment phase, parents completed 10 recordings over a 3-month period while engaging in a web-based program supporting interpretation of LENA feedback reports and strategies for increasing talk and interaction. Parents completed additional recordings and language assessments over a 9-month follow up phase. Aggregate analyses found no differences in language behaviors between immediate-treatment vs. delayed-treatment groups. However, parents who started from below average ratings on automated language measures demonstrated significant post-intervention increases which held longitudinally. Importantly, participant children showed significant elevations in language ability. Results suggest that an online intervention approach can help some parents increase talk and interaction in the home. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.

Efficient early intervention (EI) services are required to serve the needs of young children with disabilities and the needs of their families. Effective EI includes family-centred practices, evidence-based interventions, parent involvement/ training, and delivery in children's natural environments. Due to the challenges of providing home-based EI for children with disabilities, there is a need to identify alternative service models. One possible alternative service-delivery model is training and coaching parents from a distance, via Internet technologies. The purposes of this paper are to (a) describe the challenges related to homebased EI services, (b) discuss the potential advantages of using Internet-based interventions as a supplemental service model, and (c) describe current Internetbased interventions by reviewing the literature related to training parents of young children with autism, from a distance via the Internet. Efficient early intervention (EI) services are required to serve the needs of young children with disabilities and the needs of their families. Effective EI includes family-centred practices, evidence-based interventions, parent involvement/training, and delivery in children's natural environments. Due to the challenges of providing home-based EI for young children with disabilities (i.e. clinician-implemented intervention in the home), there is a need to identify alternative service models. Parent training and parent-implemented interventions could be an effective way to enhance services for young children with disabilities. Brookman-Frazee (2004) reported that collaboration between parents and professionals is associated with positive outcomes for both children and their families. Parents can learn new teaching strategies and skills and implement them accurately with their children (Dunlap, Ester, Langhans,

“…Telehealth, or the provision of health services and information over the Internet and related technologies, has the potential to replace or augment traditional service models to increase access to evidence-based intervention (Baggett et al 2010; United States Department of Education, Office of Planning, Evaluation, and Policy Development 2010). Telehealth programs can reduce costs and increase provider system coverage relative to traditional inperson service delivery models (Gros et al 2013).…”

This pilot RCT compared the effect of a self-directed and therapist-assisted telehealth-based parent-mediated intervention for young children with ASD. Families were randomly assigned to a self-directed or therapist-assisted program. Parents in both groups improved their intervention fidelity, self-efficacy, stress, and positive perceptions of their child; however, the therapist-assisted group had greater gains in parent fidelity and positive perceptions of child. Children in both groups improved on language measures, with a trend towards greater gains during a parent-child interaction for the therapist-assisted group. Only the children in the therapist-assisted group improved in social skills. Both models show promise for delivering parent-mediated intervention; however, therapist assistance provided an added benefit for some outcomes. A full-scale comparative efficacy trial is warranted.
