Advancing Comprehensive Early Childhood Intervention Symposia S4.01 Advancing Caregiver-Implemented Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions With Families of Children With Autism and Developmental Language Disorders Symposium Organizer: Ann Kaiser (USA) Affiliation : Vanderbilt University This symposium highlights findings from intervention studies and meta-analyses that may advance the effectiveness and feasibility of caregiver-implemented naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (CI- NDBIs). Paper 1 examines the role of dosage in incorporating data from three intervention studies with families of young children with DLD or autism (total N= 119). Contingent target-level linguistic input was associated with child language gains and a better predictor of child outcomes than intervention duration. Variability in dosage was influenced by child baseline rates of communication as well as caregiver fidelity. Results underscore the importance of monitoring intervention dosage to optimize CI-NDBIs targeting child language. Paper 2 explores the feasibility and potential effectiveness of incorporating cognitive behavioral interventions into CI-NDBIs to support young autistic children. Results of a meta-analysis of 15 cognitive-behavioral intervention studies with parents of young autistic children indicate modest to no effects of these interventions on caregiver self-efficacy, participation, stress, depression, or anxiety suggesting a critical need for high-quality studies investigating robust cognitive-behavioral interventions to address family quality of life. Paper 3 examines the feasibility and acceptability of a telehealth caregiver-mediated intervention with a diverse sample of 45 parents of an autistic child with a younger, undiagnosed sibling (11-18 months). Results indicate the telehealth intervention is feasible (fidelity M= 93%) and broadly acceptable, with many parents sharing that the telehealth implementation was critical to their continued participation due to after-hours availability, distance from other available services, flexibility, and additional supports such as telehealth childcare.
