Why is it important?
This is an important study because it showed that teletherapy training is effective for training communication partners in just an hour. The study also includes detailed procedures so clinicians can replicate the intervention.
Perspectives
I hope this article helps other clinicians who are intimidated by training adults to realize that it is a relatively easy activity with minimal time involved. I also hope it opens up the doors to more training without physical distance being a barrier.

The intention of this article is to inform other clinicians about an evidence-based training protocol that is relatively easy with minimal time involved for adults who interact in adult-child communication dyads.
