Providers' Reported and Actual Use of Coaching Strategies in Natural Environments
Salisbury, Christine; Cambray-Engstrom, Elizabeth; Woods, Juliann
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v32 n2 p88-98 Aug 2012
This case study examined the agreement between reported and actual use of coaching strategies based on home visit data collected on a diverse sample of providers and families. Paired videotape and contact note data of and from providers during home visits were collected over a six month period and analyzed using structured protocols. Results of both descriptive and correlation analyses indicated providers used a range of coaching strategies, tended to underreport (under-represent) their efforts on contact notes, and demonstrated practices that were primarily collaborative and family-centered. Agreement between actual and reported use of coaching strategies was variable and did not support our anticipated finding. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
