Part C Early Intervention is intended to build capacity among caregivers of infants and toddlers with special needs to use tailored strategies in natural environments. Satisfaction and perceived strategy use, however, remain unclear. In a Northeastern home-based program, caregivers (n = 195; 33% response) and providers (n = 66; 33% response) answered questions on strategy use, whether others are asked to use strategies, and perceived compliance. A subset of providers participated in a focus group. Most providers were “somewhat confident” caregivers use recommended strategies. Half of providers consistently encouraged caregivers to ask others to use strategies, with this linked to familiarity with ecological systems theory. Despite 86.2% of caregivers asking one or more person to use strategies, there was little confidence in compliance. Findings and implications are discussed, including revisiting coaching practices, exploring variability in support networks, and promoting strategy use across key partners.

我们是否最大限度地发挥了护理人员支持网络在早期干预中的作用？

C 部分早期干预旨在培养有特殊需求的婴幼儿看护者在自然环境中使用量身定制的策略的能力。然而，满意度和感知策略使用仍不清楚。在东北部以家庭为基础的计划中，护理人员（n = 195；33% 的回应）和提供者（n = 66；33% 的回应）回答了有关策略使用、是否要求其他人使用策略以及感知依从性的问题。一部分提供者参加了焦点小组。大多数提供者对使用推荐策略的护理人员“有些自信”。一半的提供者一直鼓励护理人员要求其他人使用策略，这与熟悉生态系统理论有关。尽管 86.2% 的护理人员要求一个或多个人使用策略，但对依从性几乎没有信心。
