This study aimed to pilot a tool to examine a mothers behaviors during interactions with her child with hearing loss in home and clinic environments, and to examine what extent these behaviors may be contingent upon the activity, length of sample, childs behavior, and parental perceptions. One dyad participated in four, hour-long interactions in both environments. The proportion to which each maternal behavior contributed to the total utterances showed this mothers behavior was comparable across all settings and conditions. Maternal perception of her skills was related to her behaviors. Further research is needed to determine the extent to which these findings can be generalized.
