Abstract
A set of intervention procedures developed as part of a parent-infant interaction model from a larger research study on social interaction between parents and their handicapped infants was evaluated. Data is presented for 3 dyads, selected to illustrate the applicability of the procedures under a variety of different conditions including ages of the babies, target behaviors chosen and intervention situations. Interactions were altered through direct intervention with the mothers. The procedures used in the social interaction assessment and intervention model seem to be valid for bringing about change in interactions in dyads with a variety of interactive problems, in at least 2 different types of situations and with babies differing widely in age and extent of delay.
