There are very few studies on tele-health models of parent-mediated interventions in low resource developing countries. This research conducted a pilot of an online delivery of an evidence-based parent-mediated intervention (Project ImPACT) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Mumbai, India during the global COVID-19 pandemic. The study made context and culture-specific adaptations and used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of the model.
Very few studies exist on tele-health models of parent-mediated interventions delivered in low resource developing countries. The global COVID-19 pandemic catalysed a pilot of an online delivery of an evidence-based parent-mediated intervention (Project ImPACT) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Mumbai, India. Context and culture-specific adaptations were made in program structure and a mixed-methods approach was adopted to evaluate acceptability, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of this model. Quantitative results (n = 12) showed excellent completion rates, with significant improvement in parent fidelity to intervention and child social-communication skills. Analysis of qualitative data from focus groups with parents on completion revealed that parents found the online mode convenient and acceptable, found the synchronous model of sessions especially beneficial and perceived improvements in their own parenting skills and children's developmental profiles. Though piloted in pandemic times, the results from the study have implications for future service delivery models across similar settings in other developing countries.
