Digital supplements to tele-psychotherapy are increasingly needed. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the association between outcomes and the use of supplemental video lessons based on the Unified Protocol (UP), an empirically supported transdiagnostic treatment. Participants included 7,326 adults in psychotherapy for depression and/or anxiety. Partial correlations were calculated between number of UP video lessons completed and change in outcomes after 10 weeks, controlling for number of therapy sessions and baseline scores. Then, participants were divided into those who did not complete any UP video lessons ( = 2355) and those who completed at least 7/10 video lessons ( = 549), and propensity-matched on 14 covariates. Repeated measures analysis of variance compared these groups ( = 401 in each group) on outcomes. Among the entire sample, symptom severity decreased as the number of UP video lessons completed increased, with the exception of lessons on avoidance and exposure. Those watching at least 7 lessons showed significantly greater reduction in both depression and anxiety symptoms than those who did not watch any. Viewing supplemental UP video lessons in addition to tele-psychotherapy had a positive and significant association with symptom improvement and may provide an additional tool for clinicians to implement UP components virtually.

Purpose: Vocabulary access is important for individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), especially for children in the early stages of language learning. This study sought to understand how accurate speech-language pathologists (SLPs), teachers, and parents are in predicting the vocabulary needed by early symbolic communicators who use AAC in three contexts.
Method: Ten groups, each with a child who used AAC as their primary mode of communication and who was classified as an early symbolic communicator and their parent, teacher, and SLP, participated.
