be sensitive and responsive
○ Have shown consistent benefits to children’s development
across several domains
● Medium effect of responsive stimulation interventions on cognitive
and language development

○ Stage 2: Recommend Activities
○ Stage 3: Getting Commitment from Parents
○ Stage 4: Problem-Solving Around Barriers
● CCD has been implemented in 19 countries
○ Medium to large benefits in cognition, language and motor
for groups exposed to CCD
● Even only 2 sessions show improvement on children’s
development
○ Even just a single 10min session had improvements on
caregivers practices
● What we don’t know
○ What cultural adaptation looks like?
○ What is relative efficacy of family vs. community level
treatment formats?
