The Effects of Parent Training on Child' Problem Behavior

The current book is an investigation that evaluated the effects of using training and feedback for improving parental implementation of behavior intervention plans (BIP), and the effects on their children's problem behaviors in natural (home) settings. An indirect functional assessment of problem behaviors was conducted to determine their functions. A multiple baseline across dyads was used to assess intervention effects. Data were collected on correct parent implementation of the BIPs. Results show that parents were taught to implement the BIPs successfully. Additionally, data on children's behavior showed that the intervention was effective in decreasing problem behaviors. Parent Education and Training is a journey and process. It takes time and patience. I am extremely fortunate that I am able to help parents with their children. My goal is for parents to experience a positive journey of learning how to teach their own children. Further research is needed in the area of parent training and support.
