Behavioral Parent Training via Telehealth for Autistic Children: Further Exploration of Feasibility During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Tóm tắt
Many autistic children exhibit challenging and disruptive behaviors that can present challenges for both children and their families by interfering with acquisition of adaptive skills and affecting family and peer relationships. Behavioral parent training (BPT) is an evidence-based approach to reducing autistic children’s disruptive behavior, but many families face a number of barriers to accessing BPT, such as availability of BPT in their community, and transportation and scheduling challenges. Therefore, we sought to explore the feasibility and promise of effectiveness of adapting an established BPT program to a telehealth format during the COVID-19 pandemic. A feasibility trial of BPT via telehealth was conducted with fourteen parents of autistic children. Parents and clinicians were able to implement BPT via telehealth with a high degree of fidelity, and parents rated both BPT and the telehealth format favorably. The program also showed promise of effectiveness in reducing autistic children’s disruptive behavior, improving their adaptive skills, as well as reducing parents’ stress, and improving parents’ sense of parenting competence. The findings replicate and extend findings from previous studies, further demonstrating the promise of telehealth as a viable alternative format for delivering BPT. We also explore implications for future research, including the opportunity for more thorough evaluation of the effectiveness of BPT via telehealth.
