Unlocking Engagement in Telepractice Early Intervention: Critical Behaviors for Success

Unlocking Engagement in Telepractice Early Intervention: Critical Behaviors for Success

Telepractice has revolutionized the way early intervention (EI) services are delivered, offering a feasible alternative for families who lack access to high-quality in-person services. However, engaging families in this virtual environment requires specific strategies and behaviors. A recent study titled Identifying critical behaviours for building engagement in telepractice early intervention: An international e?Delphi study provides valuable insights into these critical behaviors.

Conducted by Retamal-Walter et al., the study identified 64 key behaviors that are essential for building engagement in telepractice EI. These behaviors span across three main aspects of telepractice interaction: getting to know each other, family-centered telepractice, and telepractice-specific considerations. Here's how you can implement these findings to improve your telepractice skills:

1. Getting to Know Each Other

2. Family-Centered Telepractice

3. Telepractice-Specific Considerations

By deliberately displaying these behaviors, you can enhance family engagement, which is crucial for achieving positive outcomes in EI. These strategies are particularly important in the context of telepractice, where the physical distance can make it challenging to establish a strong therapeutic relationship.

As professionals, it is our responsibility to lead the interaction and ensure that families feel empowered and actively involved in their child's intervention. This study offers an evidence-based resource to guide your practice and improve family engagement in telepractice EI.
