Early Intervention Family Perspective: A Qualitative Narrative Study on the Transition to Teleintervention Coaching Sessions

ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Northcentral University
The problem addressed in this study was the advantages and disadvantages that families enrolled in an early intervention (EI) program experienced as they transitioned from in-person EI coaching sessions to teleintervention EI coaching sessions. This qualitative inquiry narrative study explored the perceptions of the challenges of families enrolled in an EI program as their coaching sessions transition from in-person to teleintervention coaching sessions. The conceptual framework of this study included how families perceived their teleintervention EI coaching sessions versus their in-person EI coaching sessions and how it impacted their children's academic progress. This study was guided by L. S. Vygotsky's writings and his sociocultural theory of learning. A sociocultural framework was used to explore the experience and perceptions of the challenges of families enrolled in an EI program as their coaching sessions transition from in-person to teleintervention coaching sessions. Two semi-structured narrative interviews were used to gather thick, rich descriptions of six participants' perspectives through stories of their experiences of transitioning from in-person EI coaching sessions to teleintervention EI coaching sessions. After completing the data collection, all interviews were transcribed, reviewed by the participants, and entered into NVivo Pro to assist in generating emergent themes. Participants' descriptions were analyzed using Braun and Clark's six steps for reflexive thematic analysis. Themes indicated that teleintervention was an effective means for EI service delivery, but staff lacked training for virtual sessions. A recommendation would be for EI providers to receive adequate training to increase their knowledge of teleintervention coaching services to help increase the efficiency of the EI teleintervention coaching sessions. Future researchers may wish to conduct similar studies with increased population size, different counties, and alternate research methods and designs.
