Observing caregiver communication during play with young children
What is it about?
Caregiver communication plays a central role in supporting young children's communication development. We developed and tested a practical tool that helps clinicians observe the way caregivers communicate with young children during play.
Why is it important?
Clinicians often rely on informal observations of caregiver communication. This study introduces a practical approach that could support more consistent observations and help guide individualized caregiver coaching for families of autistic and non-autistic children.
