Abstract
This single-case multiple baseline design investigation set out to determine the effectiveness of using a telepractice service delivery model to coach caregivers in Antigua & Barbuda in the use of Enhanced Milieu Teaching (EMT) language support strategies with a child with language impairment. A slightly modified version of the Teach-Model-Coach-Review (TMCR) method was used during virtual instruction to train a caregiver on the language support strategies of environmental arrangement, matched turns, expansions, and time delay with milieu prompting. The caregiver attended sessions three times a week for up to 45 minutes for four weeks. The results of this study indicated a positive relationship between the intervention and caregiver use of strategies. The caregiver demonstrated increased responsiveness to the child's communication attempts and exhibited the use of language support strategies across activities. This study suggests that telepractice can be an effective service delivery model for providing coaching to caregivers.
