Research related to family empowerment and capacity-building suggests that families facing multiple risk factors (e.g., presence of a disability, poverty, single parents, low levels of maternal education, etc.) may experience feelings of powerlessness when asked by professionals to make decisions on behalf of their families. The purpose of this study was to explore a particular strategy for engaging families experiencing multiple risk factors, including caring for young children with disabilities, to work collaboratively with Head Start professionals when planning and implementing family-centered interventions. Specifically, we examined how photo-elicitation may empower families to share their personal stories as a pathway to building meaningful relationships with their Head Start family service workers. A qualitative approach via thematic analysis was used. Findings begin to address the need for identifying innovative strategies for building family capacity with Head Start families, specifically those caring for young children with disabilities.

This study examined the effects of the BEST in CLASS intervention professional development component when delivered online in comparison with in person and a control group. A total of 29 early childhood teachers serving young children demonstrating challenging behaviors were included as participants. Data were collected on teachers’ classroom quality, self-efficacy, implementation of the BEST in CLASS practices, acceptability of the intervention, and costs of delivery. Positive outcomes on several dimensions of classroom quality were found for the BEST in CLASS–Web condition when compared with the BEST in CLASS and control conditions. Alternatively, teachers’ sense of self-efficacy was greater when BEST in CLASS was delivered in person when compared with teachers who received online delivery or those in the control condition. Finally, teachers in both treatment conditions increased their use of the practices in comparison with control teachers. Teachers in both treatment conditions rated BEST in CLASS with high levels of acceptability. Implications and future research directions are discussed.

Family routines provide young children with predictable, repeatable, and functional contexts for learning about the world. Participating in family routines is a critical pathway by which all children learn. While the use of family routines in caregiver-implemented interventions (CIIs) is supported by theories, research, and recommended practices, few investigations examine the degree to which interventions take place within routines across developmental domains in early childhood intervention research. We conducted a scoping review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist to examine an interdisciplinary body of CIIs. We coded 42 articles for the presence and types of routines, child and family demographics, developmental targets, and how routines were identified within CIIs. Autism spectrum disorder was the highest represented disability; many studies included play routines or a combination of play with another routine. In this article, we discuss the importance of family routines in CIIs, how to jointly identify a range of routines with caregivers, and we describe the need for research on family routines in CIIs across disabilities and diverse family backgrounds.

The purpose of this study was to examine the comparability of counts of embedded instruction learning trials when different methods of viewing and recording direct behavioral observations were used. In 13 classrooms, while videotaping embedded instruction implementation for a larger randomized controlled efficacy trial was occurring, teachers’ implementation of trials was coded in situ using pencil-and-paper methods. Videos were later coded using computer-assisted methods. Dependent-samples t tests, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients, and additional score agreement calculations were conducted. Statistically significant differences were found in the estimates of trial frequency. Correlational analyses showed positive and strong relationships between the coding methods. Coding agreement was higher across the entire observation versus during 10-min continuous event blocks. In situ coding took significantly less time than video coding. Results provide empirical evidence for the advantages and disadvantages of common viewing and recording methods for quantifying behavior as part of systematic observation systems.

The coaching service delivery model is often implemented within parent-mediated interventions for infants at an elevated likelihood of autism spectrum disorder. However, less is known about the exact coaching behaviors used within intervention sessions. Therefore, we examined the coaching behaviors implemented within the Adapted Responsive Teaching intervention. We also investigated the associations between coaching behaviors and parent education levels and the associations between the coaching behaviors and a parent outcome, that is, parent responsiveness. Results indicated that the interventionists demonstrated joint interaction and child-focused behaviors the most frequently. The interventionists much less frequently demonstrated guided practice, caregiver practice, and problem-solving behaviors. The use of joint interaction behaviors was positively associated with parent education levels, whereas the use of child-focused behaviors was negatively associated with parent education level. More information sharing by the interventionists predicted a greater change in parent responsiveness, whereas more child-focused behaviors predicted less change in parent responsiveness.

Despite substantial empirical support, correlates of retention and success in community-based parent–child interaction therapy (PCIT) implementation are not well defined. Widespread application of PCIT necessitates improved understanding of intervention components relating to family outcomes beyond highly controlled research trials. Using data collected as part of routine care, this study examined homework completion, time in intervention, and parent perceptions of pre-intervention behavioral issues as predictors of PCIT completion in a community-based sample. Subjects included 78 parents (49 women and 29 men) of 45 children (20 girls, 25 boys; mean age = 5.53 years) participating in PCIT in an outpatient behavioral health clinic in a small Midwestern U.S. city. Unlike previous controlled trials, homework completion did not predict child behavior growth or intervention completion. Reasons for early termination were examined thematically, and parent stress emerged as a possible avenue for future intervention in helping parents successfully complete PCIT. The issue of intervention dosage was also explored to see if families who prematurely terminated from PCIT still evidenced gains in child behavior.

Universal screening and progress monitoring are evidence-based practices in early intervention/early childhood special education (EI/ECSE). Individual Growth and Development Indicators (IGDIs) for infants/toddlers are measures that programs can use for universal screening, progress monitoring, intervention decision-making, and accountability. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, IGDIs were administered and scored exclusively in person by certified early educators. Because of COVID-19, EI/ECSE practitioners could no longer conduct in-person assessments. We report how two early intervention programs implemented IGDIs using remote protocols that included (a) preparation of parents for IGDI administration at home, (b) session observation by program staff using videoconferencing, and (c) remote coding of the child’s performance by program staff when interacting with a parent/caregiver play partner using the standard toy set. The remote protocols are described, and uptake by the programs is compared before and during the pandemic. Equivalence of children’s scores from in-person versus remote protocols is reported, as well as caregivers’ and program staff’s preferences. Implications for remote early childhood services are discussed.

Researchers have identified effective instructional strategies for teaching peer imitation, including embedded classroom-based interventions. However, there is a dearth of strategies that have been effective for teaching generalization of imitation skills to novel contexts. Building on previous research, we examined the use of progressive time delay to increase peer imitation in the context of a play activity for four preschoolers with disabilities. We conducted preference and reinforcer assessments to identify effective reinforcers for each child prior to intervention. We conducted a multiple baseline across participants design meeting contemporary single case standards and used visual analysis to identify a functional relation: the intervention package was associated with an increase in the participants’ peer imitation in training contexts. The intervention also led to levels of peer imitation comparable to those of typically developing peers, as measured by a normative peer sample, and generalization to novel contexts.

The extant literature on implementation fidelity has found mixed evidence for empirically establishing the dimensionality of implementation fidelity. The current study aims to add to this growing body of literature by examining implementation fidelity in a book-reading intervention for young children’s caregivers. Caregivers (n = 291) implemented Sit Together and Read 2 (STAR 2) with their preschool-age children. These data indicated that implementation fidelity was determined to be a four-dimensional construct including adherence/dose, quality of delivery, participant responsiveness, and program differentiation. The main findings of this work are twofold: (a) implementation fidelity is a more complex construct than some previous descriptions, and (b) early childhood education research should aim to report on all aspects of implementation fidelity.
