Paraeducators are ideal candidates for delivering communication interventions to children with developmental disabilities and delays (DD) because they spend a significant amount of time with these children. However, professional development is often inadequate and limited research supports best practices. Additionally, paraeducators work with multiple children with varying skill levels. Little research has been conducted on the use of existing strategies with multiple children. This single-case study examines the effect of a training package on paraeducators' fidelity of intervention implementation with a child dyad and subsequent child outcomes. Results suggest that formal coaching contributed to improved fidelity of intervention implementation. Furthermore, paraeducators were able to use intervention strategies with children with varying communication skills and goals. Variable increases in child communication were also detected.

偏教育者是向发育障碍和发育迟缓（DD）儿童提供交流干预措施的理想人选，因为他们在这些儿童上花费了大量时间。但是，专业发展常常不足，有限的研究支持最佳实践。另外，教育工作者与技能水平各异的多个孩子一起工作。关于对有多个孩子的现有策略的使用研究很少。这项单例研究考察了培训包对带孩子双子座和随后的孩子结局的干预者保真度的影响。结果表明，正式的指导有助于提高干预措施的保真度。此外，教养者能够对具有不同沟通技巧和目标的孩子使用干预策略。还发现了儿童交流的不定增长。
