“…These findings are consistent with previous studies, which suggest that, (a) parents can learn PRT effectively (e.g., Koegel et al 2002), and (b) they can be taught this intervention in short-term and group therapy models (Anan et al 2008;Bryson et al 2007). While a large body of research supports that parents can learn PRT and become effective intervention agents with their children with autism, research on short-term and group therapy models is relatively sparse to date.…”

The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders is increasing, necessitating the development of efficient treatment models. Research has demonstrated that parent-delivered behavioral interventions are a viable treatment model; however, little research has focused on teaching parents in groups. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that parents can learn Pivotal Response Training (PRT) in group therapy, resulting in correlated gains in children's language. Baseline and post-treatment data were obtained and examined for changes in (a) parent fidelity of PRT implementation, and (b) child functional verbal utterances. Significant differences were observed for both variables. These findings suggest that parents can learn PRT in a group format, resulting in correlated child language gains, thus future controlled studies are warranted.

“…Scoring was based on a standardized measure of fidelity of treatment implementation widely used in PRT research (e.g., Bryson et al 2007;Symon 2005). Each 10-minute videotaped probe was scored using 2-minute scoring intervals (total of five intervals).…”

“…Training parents in evidence-based intervention techniques is generally considered an efficient method of expanding the availability of intervention services to children with autism. Additional advantages of parent training are the potential for increased maintenance and generalisation of child skills, and increased parental self-efficacy (e.g., Bryson et al, 2007).…”

“…PRT is another form of behavioral treatment approach that utilizes naturalistic situations to teach children to adopt more generalized skills, increase motivation, and with minimal prompting needed. Similarly, PRT has been used with children with ASD and targets increased skill generalization, self-management, and motivation (Bryson et al 2007;Carter 2001;Koegel et al 2003;Romaniuk and Miltenberger 2001). Low-intensity behavioral treatment is a modified version of standard ABA that was created to address the intervention barriers experienced by clinicians and parents (e.g., schedule availability, staff issues) (Peters-Scheffer et al 2010).…”
