“…Although in the field of ASD interventions targeting parents are not new, the most commonly used parenting programs treat parents as coaches and teach them how to train their children (Matson & Smith, ). Despite some evidence for the effectiveness of such parent‐training programs (Lafasakis & Sturmey, ; Sheinkopf & Siegel, ), most indicators showed improvement on specific behavioral skills, leaving social competence unexamined. We believe that parental intervention at the skill level is not adequate.…”

The grounded theory method was used to analyze the parenting styles used by caregivers to rear children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and to investigate parents' experiences regarding how to help their child overcome the symptoms. Thirty-two parents from 28 families of children with ASD in mainland China were interviewed. Analysis of interview transcripts revealed four patterns of parenting styles which varied in affiliation to the roles of caretaker and coach. Based on their experience, a sizable group of parents perceived that their own emotions influence the child's emotions and his/her symptoms. The results suggest the value of developing intervention programs on emotion regulation and positive parenting for the parents of children with ASD.

“…For intervention to be effective, providers must be well trained (Eldevik et al, 2012;Johnston, Foxx, Jacobson, Green, & Mulick, 2006;Randell, Hall, Bizo, & Remington, 2007;Smith & Lovaas, 1998). To show evidence of successful training, it is important to use performance-based measurement, which assesses skill fluency (Eldevik et al, 2012;Gianoumis & Sturmey, 2012;Lafasakis & Sturmey, 2007;Lerman, Tetreault, Hovanetz, Strobel, & Garro, 2008;Sarokoff & Sturmey, 2008;Thomson, Martin, Arnal, Fazzio, & Yu, 2009). Educational research suggests that active learner participation and presenting information in small blocks are two key components to effective training programs (Markle, 1990).…”

Families in rural or remote areas have limited access to evidence-based intervention for their children with autism. Using web-based training and telemedicine technology, the current study investigated the feasibility of training seven parents to implement Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) strategies with their children with autism. In this exploratory formative evaluation, parents increased their knowledge of ABA strategies and concepts by an average of 39 percentage points, and improved their implementation of ABA strategies with their children by an average of 41 percentage points. A total of 9,052 driving miles were saved across the four families. Implications for families living in remote areas, improvements in the training program, and future research directions are discussed.

“…Extensive research has demonstrated the effectiveness of behavioral skills training (BST; i.e., instructions, modeling, role‐play, feedback; Crane, ) to teach parents a range of skills (e.g., Crane, ; Crockett & Hird, ; Forehand et al, ; Gross, Miltenberger, Knudson, Bosch, & Brower Breitwieser, ; Hsieh, Wilder, & Abellon, ; Lafasakis & Sturmey, ; Magen & Rose, ; Miles & Wilder, ; Stewart, Carr, & LeBlanc, ). BST has been used to teach novel skills in very brief periods of time (e.g., Himle, Miltenberger, Flessner, & Gatheridge, ; Nigro‐Bruzzi & Sturmey, ; Toelken & Miltenberger, ) and is viewed as an integral part of a number of well‐researched and empirically supported parent training programs (e.g., McMahon & Forehand, ; McNeil & Hembree‐Kigin, ).…”

Impairment in social skills is a primary feature of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). Research indicates that social skills are intimately tied to social development and negative social consequences can persist if specific social behaviors are not acquired. The present study evaluated the effects of behavioral skills training (BST) on teaching four parents of children with ASDs to be social skills trainers. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across parent-child dyads was employed and direct observation was used to assess parent and child behaviors Results demonstrated substantial improvement in social skills teaching for all participants for trained and untrained skills. Ancillary measures of child performance indicated improvement in skills as well. High levels of correct teaching responses were maintained at a 1 month follow-up. This study extends current literature on BST while also providing a helpful, low-effort strategy to modify how parents can work with their children to improve their social skills.
