TeleABC

Thanks to the partnership and incredible efforts of our parent coaches in training in 2020, we were able to evaluate virtual implementation, finding that ABC was conducted through telehealth with fidelity, with impressively high commenting rates and quality (Roben, Kipp, Schein, Costello, & Dozier, in press) . We also find significant improvement in parental sensitivity from pre- to post-intervention when sessions are conducted entirely through telehealth and hybrid telehealth/in-person(Schien, Roben, Costello, & Dozier, 2021). With this evidence, we feel confident that TeleABC serves as an excellent substitute for in- person ABC when needed.

We have created protocols for conducting ABC sessions, including live commenting and manual content, through telehealth platforms.  ABC-certified parent coaches and parent coaches in training have access to the TeleABC guidance.
