About the Webinar
The Research over the past 50 years has yielded many promising early intervention approaches and techniques for children with developmental delays and disabilities. Yet virtually no systematic research has been conducted comparing the effects of different intervention intensities. In this presentation I will first review how treatment intensity has been defined, conceptualized and measured in the literature. I will then propose a set of terms and constructs borrowed from medicine that are intended to capture the dynamic aspects of this construct as an aid to clinical application and research. Key issues to employing the proposed approach in applied research, and clinical and educational practice will be discussed. There will be time for questions following the presentation.
