Susan & Deanna’s Coding Corner

In our coding workshops at the conference, Play Talk emerged as a tricky coding category.  Play talk describes verbalizations in which the parent talks “in role” as a toy or character, makes sound effects, or sings. In looking over the new DPICS-4 Comprehensive Manual for Research and Training, we found a nice explanation of when to code Play Talk. I’m going to paraphrase this here:

Uplift Family Services

BIRTH TO FIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM

Uplift Family Services (formerly known as Hollygrove) offers specialized services to meet the unique needs of young children and their families. To achieve the best outcomes for our families, all of our service providers have foundational knowledge in brain development, typical and atypical child development, attachment, motor development, sensory integration and processing, and the effects of trauma on young children. Added to this knowledge is specialty training in evidence-informed promising and/or evidence based practices designed to meet the distinctive needs of families with young children. Vitally important, families are engaged as partners in care with their voice and choice central to all treatment planning. The family’s racial and cultural identity, language, values, preferences, traditions and beliefs are incorporated into all aspects of services received with all services available in English and Spanish. To assure maximal access to care, the following services are offered in homes, schools and the community based on the family’s needs and desires. Honoring the importance of the bond between the caregiver and the young child, treatment is dyadic whereby the primary caregiver and the child are most often seen together.
ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT PLANNING

Service planning begins with the engagement of the family in a comprehensive, strengths-based, family-centered assessment using the Infancy, Childhood, & Relationship Initial Assessment (ICARE) and the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS). This assessment process creates a shared vision with the family of the child’s and caregivers’ needs and strengths that leads directly to an individualized treatment plan with relevant treatment goals. This plan includes providing mental health services, building natural supports to optimize family functioning, as well as linking to other critical services needed by the family such as referral to the local WIC office, Head Start program, or for pediatric care. The family’s needs and strengths are assessed periodically throughout services providing feedback regarding treatment effectiveness, making adjustments to the treatment plan, as well as measuring the completion of goals and readiness for discharge.
TREATMENT SERVICES

Uplift Family Services’ specialized services for infants, toddlers, and families with young children are on the cutting edge because of the utilization of e include evidence-based treatment protocols and evidence-informed sensory-based specialty services.
EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT

Child Parent Psychotherapy. CPP is a relationship-based treatment model designed to repair the effects of stress and trauma on young children and their attachment with their caregiver. The model is unique in that it heals the child by utilizing the strengths and resources within the caregiver-child relationship. . Oftentimes, the parent has also been traumatized and needs assistance in helping their child. The therapist joins the caregiver-child dyad to provide non-judgmental developmental guidance, helping translate the child’s behavior or play in a way the parent will understand as well as guiding the parent in talking about the trauma in ways a very young child can understand. The goal for the child is to make sense of what has happened, be able to regulate their feelings about it, and regain a sense of safety within their relationship with the caregiver.

Parent Child Interaction Therapy. PCIT is an intensive parent-child treatment program for families with children, ages 2 though 7, who display serious behavioral problems (e.g., defiance, non-compliance, aggression, peer conflicts, and temper tantrums). In this model there are two components, Relationship Enhancement and Discipline, in which caregivers are taught how to: 1) decrease the negative aspects and increase positive/supportive communication with their child and, 2) effectively use behavior management skills. Specific skills are taught and parents are coached live via two-way mirror and “bug in the ear” technology to give parents the opportunity to practice these skills during therapy until mastery is achieved and the child’s behavior improves.
EVIDENCE-INFORMED SENSORY-BASED SPECIALTY SERVICES

Sensory-Focused Services. Of critical importance during a child’s early years is achieving the very first socio-emotional milestone of self-regulation: the dual ability to take an interest in the sights, sounds, and sensations of the world and to calm oneself down. The ability to self-regulate enables us all to take in and respond to the world around us and has a profound effect on the bonding between caregivers and infants. All infants vary in their sensitivity to the stimulation the world offers and the caregivers’ attunement to their infant is foundational to their relationship and the child’s future success in navigating the world as they grow. Strengthening this caregiver-child bond is integrated into all therapeutic services in our program with additional support available from our Birth to Five Child Development Specialist, use of our specialized sensory-motor therapy room designed specifically to address their sensory needs, as well as ongoing staff training and consultation from Catherine Crowley, OTD, OTR/L from the University of Southern California.

Uplift Family Services Birth to Five Outpatient Program is funded by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, Prevention and Early Intervention via the California Mental Health Services Act, and First 5/LA.

Instructional Coaching: An effective way to train!

These recent findings were discussed on our LinkedIn professional discussion group by our Head of Clinical Research and PCIT Training Program Manager, Dr. Susan Timmer:

In 1987, Bruce Joyce and Beverly Showers released the findings on the effectiveness of changing practice (these were teachers) resulting from various modes of training and followup support. This information has become the prime mover behind the increase in what is known now as instructional coaching. The following summary of Joyce and Showers’ findings are dramatic!
The research on the need for coaching:
• 5% of learners will transfer a new skill into their practice as a result of learning a theory
• 10% of learners will transfer a new skill into their practice as a result of learning a theory and seeing it demonstrated
• 20% of learners will transfer a new skill into their practice as a result of theory, demonstration, and practice during the training
• 25% of learners will transfer a new skill into their practice as a result of theory, demonstration, practice, and corrective feedback during the training
• 90% of learners will transfer a new skill into their practice as a result of theory, demonstration, practice, and corrective feedback during the training — when it is followed up with job-embedded coaching

History of PCIT

About the UC Davis PCIT Training Center:

Federal and State policymakers recognize PCIT as a successful and effective evidence-based practice. In the early 1990s, the UC Davis CAARE Center began providing PCIT services to children and families – and currently provides PCIT services to over 100 families a week. In 2000, the UC Davis CAARE Center created the PCIT Training Center, which has been a leader in disseminating PCIT to community mental health agencies in California and throughout the world. Because CAARE Center is a large community mental health treatment agency, it is familiar with the challenges that providers have in meeting the mental health needs of the community and implementing evidence-based treatment programs. The goal of the UC Davis PCIT Training Center is to work with trainee agencies to develop a fully independent PCIT program, with staff prepared to train new staff in delivering PCIT services. According to results of a recent survey, fully 85% of all agencies trained by the UC Davis PCIT Training Center currently have viable, growing PCIT programs.

The UC Davis CAARE Center has been active in conducting empirical research on the application of PCIT to maltreating families, foster families, Spanish-speaking families, when mothers are depressed, and to families involved in domestic violence. We consistently publish research with an eye towards improving the delivery of PCIT.
