Using Iterative Development to Design Equitable and Culturally Responsive Early Childhood Interventions

Thu, April 11, 12:40 to 2:10pm, Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, Floor: Level 3, Room 306

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The iterative development process, defined as designing, testing, revising, and testing, is a critical component in creating early childhood interventions to bridge the research to practice gap. Four groups of early childhood researchers will present their experiences as they engaged in the iterative process to develop their evidence-based intervention. Participants will present the various methods used to collect and analyze the data gathered in the process. The participants will also discuss the impact the iterative process had on designing an intervention that was culturally and linguistically responsive for the community for which it was designed. Challenges and recommendations regarding effective approaches for collecting iterative data and revising program elements will be discussed.
