3. Research & Rationale for DMM Recommended Practice in Early Intervention: Emphasis on supports and services in the context of the routines and relationships that are part of children and families’ everyday lives (Bruder, 2010; Sandall, Hemmeter, Smith, & McLean, 2005) Actual Practice in Early Intervention: Two primary approaches: -Child-focused approach currently used by many EI professionals (Campbell & Sawyer, 2007; Peterson, Luze, Eshbaugh, Jeon, &Kantz, 2007) -General coaching that does not include direct teaching or practice to support caregiver’s skill development. Majority of time in conversation with caregiver or modeling without feedback or demonstration. (Wilcox, Guimond, & Kim, 2010)

4. Research & Rationale for DMM Professional Development in Early Intervention: Despite evidence to the contrary, PD is most frequently delivered in workshop-format without follow-up. Coaching is the only PD strategy with significant evidence of effectiveness. (Bruder, Mogro-Wilson, Stayton, Dietrich, (2009); Snyder & Wolfe, 2008) Face-to-face interaction and opportunities for reflection improve online PD (Chen, Klein, & Minor, 2009) Video-feedback is an effective tool to change behavior in beginning teachers in classroom settings and early childhood home visitors (Rosaen, Lundeberg, Cooper, Fritzen, &Terpstra, 2008; Sherin& van Es, 2009; Summers, Funk, Twombly, Waddell, & Squires, 2007)
