Abstract

This study determined strategies that early intervention occupational therapists are using to improve parent–child interaction and how therapists measure the effectiveness of used strategies. A regression analysis of survey data determined a significant difference between how therapists were trained and their responses, indicating that training impacts treatment. Therapists responded to questions by placing either the therapist in control, the parent in control, or a blend in control. Analysis revealed that although most therapists are delivering family-centered services, some are still delivering child-centered care. Results indicated that training, not experience, determined use of evidence-based treatment, thereby adding support for additional parent–child interaction trainings.
