Papers Topic - Joint Book Reading Advancing Comprehensive Early Childhood Intervention P3.09 The Effects of the Quality Book Reading (NIKO) Early Intervention Program on Turkish Mothers of Children With Down Syndrome and Their Children The present study aimed to examine the effects of the Quality Book Reading (NIKO) Early Intervention Program on Turkish mothers of children with Down syndrome aged between 2 and 6 years and their children. The research was conducted using the convergent parallel mixed design with 17 mother-child dyads determined by random assignment. Nine participants were included in the control group, and eight were included in the intervention group. The research was performed online. The research data were collected through video recordings of the mother-child dyads taken during the book reading activity before and after the intervention and semi-structured interviews conducted with the mothers after the intervention. Results revealed that the NIKO Program was effective on various variables, which are primarily children’s pivotal behaviors, interactional behaviors, and book reading behaviors displayed by mothers. Parents exhibited more quality reading behaviors, and these behaviors positively impacted the pivotal behaviors and interactions of children. The above-mentioned results show that the NIKO Program can contribute to the development of children with Down syndrome and is an effective tool for parents to improve their book reading habits. P3.10 Translation and Cultural Adaptation of the Responsive Adult–Child Engagement During Joint Book Reading Scale (RACED-JBR) for European Portuguese Presenting Author: Ana Sofia Lopes (Portugal) Affiliation: Portuguese Catholic University, School of Health and Nursing Sciences Co-Authors: Sofia Lynce, Mara Moita Shared Book Reading (SBR) is an interactive experience when two people, usually a child and a caregiver, explore a book. Research has demonstrated that this activity supports language development in the early years, so families have been encouraged to incorporate it into their daily routines. Desjardin and colleagues’ Responsive Adult–Child Engagement During Joint Book Reading (RACED-JBR) Scale measures parent and child behaviors that have been shown to predict language development in populations of very young children, specifically during SBR. This study aims to translate and culturally adapt this tool so that early intervention professionals can use it with Portuguese families. Procedures for this process were guided by the works of Gutiérrez and colleagues (2018) and International Test Commission Guidelines Translating and Adapting Tests (2nd edition) (2017) and informed by the results of a pilot study. The adaptation process and the Portuguese version of the RACED-JBR will be presented.
