Parent Intervention: Annotated Bibliography

1. I used the search terms “parent implemented interventions ABA” on the One Search database to find this article. I choose this article because it contained a study about parent implemented intervention. The reference for the article is:
Ha, S. (2015). Effectiveness of a parent-implemented intervention program for young children with cleft palate. International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 79, 707-715. doi: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2015.02.023.
2. Over the past 20 years, studies have shown that children with cleft palate are likely to have speech-language impairments. Effective early intervention can help reduce the need for more intensive clinician-implemented intervention (Ha, 2015). Research has shown that parental involvement is
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of parent-implemented intervention for young children with cleft palate. Effectiveness was assessed based on changes in speech language performance by comparing children with mothers that received training in communication strategies compared to those who had mothers who did not receive training (Ha, 2015).
4. Participants for the study included seventeen children with non-syndromic cleft palate (CP) and their mothers. Data collected on the children originated from a medical history form filled out by the parents. According to parents’ reports, each child had a surgery for primary palate repair. The intervention group consisted of 17 participants, 10 girls and 7 boys. The control group consisted of 9 participants, 5 girls and 4 boys.
5. Data were collected during two assessments at 3-month interval. Two 20-minute video and audiotaped language samples and standardized tests were used to collect data. One 20-minute language sample involved the evaluator and child interaction, and the other sample involved the mother and child interaction. The standardized tests used in the study were a Sequenced Language Scale for Infants (SELSI) and Korean MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories
Results from the study suggest that parent-implemented intervention for children with CP has a positive impact on their speech and language performance. Results indicate that children in the intervention group showed significant increases in number of expressive vocabulary on the KM-BCDI and expressive language age on the SELSI (Ha, 2015). Children who did not receive parent-implemented intervention “…showed a significant increase in only expressive language age…” on the SELSI (Ha, 2015). After intervention, the intervention group showed a significantly greater number of expressive vocabulary, true consonants, total words, and measures of vocabulary size compared to the control
