Identifying critical behaviours for building engagement in telepractice early intervention: An international e-Delphi study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Engagement of the child, parent and professional may facilitate positive outcomes for young children with communication disorders receiving early intervention (EI) via telepractice. Despite reported positive outcomes of engagement in a family-centred model of EI, there is limited research exploring the nature engagement in the telepractice environment and guiding professionals on how to best interact with young children and their families.

Aim

To identify a set of critical behaviours for building engagement in telepractice EI.

Methods & procedures

A two-round modified e-Delphi study was conducted. Participants were international experts in the field of paediatric communication disorders and telepractice EI from diverse allied health and education background
