Although early intervention programs realize the importance of supporting parent-child interaction as part of family-centered practice, it has not yet become an explicit emphasis of most early intervention programs. The lack of easy-to-use psychometrically strong parenting measures is one limitation that may play a role in early intervention program efforts to increase their focus on parenting. The Parenting Interactions with Children: Checklist of Observations Linked to Outcomes (PICCOLO) provides a practical observation measure of developmentally supportive parenting with young children. We tested the reliability and validity of this measure with parents of children with an identified disability.=0D=0A=0D=0AThis webinar will present psychometric and administration information on the PICCOLO and its use as an assessment tool with parents and children where the child has an identified disability Comparative research with the PICCOLO will highlight the importance of parenting for children with disabilities. Strategies for using the PICCOLO in practice will be described. This information will be useful to anyone interested in early intervention with families who have a child with a disability and families where the parent may have a disability. The message for the field is that common parenting behaviors, in which parents typically engage, are important predictors of later outcomes for children with identified disabilities, and these parenting behaviors need to play a more salient role in Part C services.=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0APresenter: =0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0A Mark S.
