Abstract

The primary purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the feasibility of adapting an experimentally validated manual-based parent training program to an applied behavior analysis (ABA) outpatient clinic setting to reduce disruptive behaviors in young children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Parent training models of ABA service delivery offer advantages over traditional clinician-based service delivery models including cost, efficiency, and parental empowerment. In addition to evaluating feasibility of the parent training model, a preliminary analysis of efficacy will be conducted.
