Intensive Interaction with Parents

Intensive Interaction is an intervention with an emerging evidence-base for improving the communication skills of children with severe communication impairments. Pædagogisk Psykologisk Rådgivning (PPR) Frederiksberg in Copenhagen is currently training parents to use Intensive Interaction with their children with severe communication impairments. The project aims to (a) the impact of the intervention on the communicative behaviors of parents and their children and (b) the experiences of parents using Intensive Interaction to encourage their children to communicate.

This research will use a practice-based evidence framework to examine whether a current educational/therapeutic practice can add to evidence-based practices for children with severe communication impairments.
