Enhanced Milieu Training with Phonological Emphasis (EMT+PE) A Pilot Telepractice Parent Training Study

Description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of parent training in the Enhanced Milieu Teaching with Phonological Emphasis (EMT+PE) intervention program, using a secure internet-based conferencing software (telepractice), on parent strategy use and child speech and language outcomes for children with repaired cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).…

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of parent training in the Enhanced Milieu Teaching with Phonological Emphasis (EMT+PE) intervention program, using a secure internet-based conferencing software (telepractice), on parent strategy use and child speech and language outcomes for children with repaired cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P). Three participant dyads composed of a parent and child participated in this study. Children ranged in age from 21 to 27 months at the beginning of this study and all had a diagnosis of nonsyndromic CL/P. Participating dyads received three in- person training sessions and three weekly telepractice intervention sessions. Assessment and intervention sessions were administered by a trained Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and a graduate SLP student clinician. Parents demonstrated a positive intervention effect by significantly increasing their use of EMT+PE intervention strategies during training. Based on preliminary results, parents were able to maintain their increased use of strategies following the conclusion of intervention as well. Telepractice proved to be a valid service delivery model for conducting early intervention sessions and for supporting the early speech and language development for children with CL/P.
