The effects of online parent training in the teach-model-coach-review instructional approach on parents’ use of language expansion during routine-based activities for children with cochlear implants in Thailand
The effectiveness of providing early intervention services and encouraging family’s involvement are proven in terms of accelerating children’s development into age-appropriate milestones. Unfortunately, early intervention is not systematically implemented in Thailand and not stated in any legislation. The extreme shortage of early intervention practitioners, especially those who work with children with hearing loss, the inaccessibility of services for children who live in remote areas, and the implementation of professional-centered paradigm are significant concerns that negatively affect language development of children with hearing loss in Thailand. To increase the service accessibility and efficiency, this study aimed to encourage family’s involvement in their child’s early intervention by providing the Teach-Model-Coach-Review parent training through an online platform. The focus of the training was for parents to utilize language expansion strategies during routines to develop spoken language skills for their child . Multiprobe baseline design across participants was used to examine the effects of the parent training. Four parent-child dyads from Thailand participated in this study. Children were between two to four years old and had been implanted between one to two years. The results of the study analyzed the frequency of parents’ use of language expansion and the total number of different words that each child spoke spontaneously before and after the training. The discussion will address the findings from the study as well as the families’ reactions.
- To explore how online parent training in the Teach-Model-Coach-Review Instructional approach can be implemented to improve the parents’ use of language expansion during routine-based activities with their child with cochlear implant(s).
- To explore how parents’ use of language expansion during routine-based activities develop spoken language of children with cochlear implant(s).
- To explore how parents perceive the benefit of the intervention.
