Abstract
This book provides a comprehensive outline of the major parent training programs for parents of children with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD), including Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Parents or primary caregivers spend the most time with a child, and training them in behaviour management and intervention strategies is critical to improving a child's behaviour, to helping them to learn new skills, and to reduce parental stress. Authored by eminent specialists in the field and written for researchers and clinicians supporting or treating families, each chapter focuses on one of the key evidence-based parent training programs - from Incredible Years® and Positive Family Intervention through to Pivotal Response Treatment and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Each chapter provides a breakdown that features an introduction to the model, evidence for the model, a full description of the model, a discussion of implementation and dissemination efforts, and concluding comments.
Grounded in research, this definitive overview provides the evidence and guidance required for anyone considering investing in or running a parenting program.
John R. Lutzker is Distinguished University Professor at Georgia State University and has forty-six years of research and service in IDD and evidence-based parenting programs.
Kate Guastaferro, Ph.D. is an Assistant Research Professor at The Methodology Center at The Pennsylvania State University researching the optimization of behavioral interventions.
The parent child relationship is one of the most durable and important in life. Using evidence-based strategies to support parents in creating a beautiful family life, as well as contributing to the child's long term well-being, is a noble cause; Guastaferro and Lutzker have provided us with the tools to start this process. This book creates a space for loving, scientifically-grounded, and inclusive parent training for families of all backgrounds and life experiences. I am delighted that this resource is available to professionals supporting families. Its impact will be lasting.
