Cooperative Parent Mediated Therapy in Children With Fragile X Syndrome and Williams Syndrome

CMPT usually last 6 months, for a total amount of 15 sessions of 90 min; twelve core sessions (one session per week) are delivered in the first 3 months, followed by 3 monthly booster sessions. Each weekly core session had a specific focus and specific intervention strategies based on active parent coaching during parent-child interaction, and included the parent-child dyad with the parent being actively coached by a trained therapist. Live active coaching increases parents' competence in implementing strategies to enhance child development, and at the same time increases their confidence. This intervention has demonstrated evidence of effectiveness in socio-communicational improvement as measured by ADOS-G (Valeri, 2019) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
