Pilot protocol for the parent and infant inter(X)action intervention (PIXI) feasibility study
Wheeler, A. C., Okoniewski, K. C., Scott, S., Edwards, A., Cheves, E., & Turner-Brown, L. (2023). Pilot protocol for the parent and infant inter(X)action intervention (PIXI) feasibility study. PLoS One, 18(5), Article e0270169. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0270169
This paper provides the detailed protocol for a pilot study testing the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of a targeted two-phase, remotely delivered early intervention program for infants with neurogenetic conditions (NGC) and their caregivers. The Parent and Infant Inter(X)action Intervention (PIXI) is designed to support parents and infants with a NGC diagnosed in the first year of life. PIXI is implemented in two phases, with the first phase focusing on psychoeducation, parent support, and how to establish routines for supporting infant development. Phase II helps parents learn targeted skills to support their infant's development as symptoms may begin to emerge. The proposed non-randomized feasibility pilot study will establish the feasibility of a year-long virtually implemented intervention program to support new parents of an infant diagnosed with an NGC.
