I-InTERACT Preterm

The program couples online learning modules with video conferencing sessions with a trained therapist to review skills and practice implementing the skills with live coaching. Online modules include didactic content, video clips of parents modeling the skills, and exercises. Parents will complete intervention modules sequentially in conjunction with scheduled 1:1 videoconference sessions with a trained therapist. Videoconference sessions with the therapist will be scheduled weekly, once parents have completed their modules. During these sessions, the therapist will review the online materials and provide active coaching to the parent on how to use the skills with their child (e.g., labeled praise, reflective responses). Each session follows a manualized therapy protocol to optimize content fidelity. Parents will be instructed to practice the parenting skills for 5 minutes each day to promote mastery in the home environment.
