Applying behaviour change theory to parent-led language interventions for children in the early years

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: The BCTTv1 is a useful starting place for describing parent-led language interventions. With some additions and adjustments, BCTs identified in this study were immediately recognized by practitioners and can easily be adopted into practice.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject Techniques used in SLT interventions are often not clearly described. The BCTTv1 has been used to clarify technique descriptions with success in a small number of SLT disciplines, but not yet in parent-led language interventions for preschoola children. What this paper adds to the existing knowledge This paper constitutes the first research into quantifying the techniques used in parent-led language interventions using the BCTTv1. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? This paper provides a clear list of techniques used by SLTs implementing interventions for preschool children, which can be immediately adopted and used in practice. It also highlights potential adjustments and gaps in the BCTTv1 in relation to SLT which can contribute to future iterations.PMID:38062889 | DOI:10.1111/1460-6984.12990
