Abstract

We examined whether there was a functional relation between BIE e Coaching with parents of young children with language disorders and parent provision of natural communication opportunities and whether parents maintained their provision of natural communication opportunities when the intervention was faded. Data also were collected to assess the social validity of the intervention. The results indicate that BIE e Coaching with parents of young children with language disorders was effective in increasing parent provision of natural communication opportunities. Parents maintained their provision of natural language opportunities above baseline levels after intervention was withdrawn. All participants strongly agreed that BIE e Coaching was helpful for changing their communication practices with their child and would recommend it to other parents of children with language disorders.
