Early intervention supports infants and toddlers with confirmed or suspected autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in achieving optimal outcomes, and caregiver-implemented NDBIs are recommended as a developmentally appropriate intervention approach for very young children and their families. Research highlights discrepancies between early interventionists’ perceptions of their practices and their observed practices, possibly contributing to implementation gaps. Remote coaching is a viable method of supporting early childhood professionals’ use of recommended practices, yet limited research has examined remote coaching with early interventionists in community systems (e.g., Part C). The current feasibility study explored differences between early interventionists’ reported and observed practices and compared bug-in-ear versus video review coaching methods with early interventionists working with families of toddlers with confirmed or suspected ASD. Results demonstrated (a) early interventionists reported higher quality practices than observed, and (b) remote coaching is a community-viable professional development approach in supporting early interventionists’ use of recommended practices.

早期干预者远程辅导的可行性：C 部分中的 NDBI 策略

早期干预支持已确诊或疑似自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的婴儿和幼儿获得最佳结果，建议护理人员实施的 NDBI 作为针对幼儿及其家庭的适合发育的干预方法。研究强调了早期干预主义者对其实践的看法与观察到的实践之间的差异，这可能导致实施差距。远程辅导是支持幼儿专业人员使用推荐实践的可行方法，但有限的研究对社区系统中早期干预者的远程辅导进行了检验（例如，C 部分）。目前的可行性研究探讨了早期干预专家报告的和观察到的做法之间的差异，并将耳挂式辅导方法与视频回顾辅导方法与与确诊或疑似自闭症谱系障碍幼儿家庭一起工作的早期干预专家进行了比较。结果表明，(a) 早期干预专家报告的实践质量高于观察到的质量，(b) 远程辅导是一种社区可行的专业发展方法，可支持早期干预专家使用推荐的实践。
