Summary
This study tested a program that uses a mobile app, online webinars, and personal coaching to help parents support their toddlers' communication skills. 98 families with children aged 12-18 months who showed early signs of communication delays took part. The goal was to see if these tools could improve how parents interact with their child and boost the child's social communication.
