TREEHOUSE project is a 30 -minute dedicated telehealth coaching program delivered by pediatric providers to families with children ages 9 and 15 months. The program is offered in addition to routine well child visits. The TREEOUSE program is targeted at families living in poverty whose children may be at higher risk for developmental delay. The telehealth program is an outgrowth of the TREE program developed by the Emotional Health Committee of the Maryland Chapter AAP that integrates interactive developmental coaching into well child visits. The TREE program has been noted to increase self- reported parental verbal responsivity to young children and increase practitioner self- reported confidence in performing developmental coaching in a study conducted at two Baltimore based pediatric residency training programs. Both the TREE and TREEHOUSE programs seek to reinforce the importance of talking, reading and play with young children. During coaching sessions, parents are engaged in a dialogue that promotes learning, self-reflection and creates an opportunity to practice some of the evidence -based material discussed such as using the sports announcer approach to stimulate language development.
