109: Supporting Prelinguistic Communication For At-Risk Children & Caregiver Education; Root for The Home Team: Caregiver Coaching & Family Capacity Building in EI

Listen to the podcast here

On this episode I am joined by Mollie Romano, a professor and Assistant Director of the Communication and Early Childhood Research and Practice Center at Florida State University. Her research focuses on caregiver implemented interventions to support the development of infants and toddlers with disabilities and those at risk for delays, professional development approaches for early childhood providers, and interventions that target prelinguistic communication skills.

Topics/Questions:

1. What are some evidenced based strategies for caregiver coaching and family capacity building in early intervention?

2. What coaching framework do you recommend to support caregivers as adult learners?

3. Can you share your recommendations for helping families embed intervention into daily routines that are meaningful to the family?

4. With telepractice becoming an essential method of delivery during this time, how do you suggest using a coaching framework in telepractice for early intervention?
