Gospel Y. Kim; Kathleen N. Tuck; Elisabeth J. Malone; Kathryn M. Bigelow – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2025
We examined the effectiveness of coaching on caregiver implementation of responding to joint attention (RJA) intervention for toddlers with autism. We used a nonconcurrent multiple-baseline across participants single-case research design to examine the relation between coaching practices and caregivers' RJA intervention implementation behaviors.…

Virginia L. Walker; Ann Mickelson; Melissa Tapp; Reem Muharib – Preventing School Failure, 2024
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across the United States transitioned to some form of emergency remote instruction. Preliminary research suggests that special education services may have been disjointed and many caregivers assumed a primary role in service provision during emergency remote instruction. To extend this work with a…

Abby K. Hodges; Phillip S. Strain; Garrett J. Roberts – Journal of Positive Behavior Interventions, 2024
A single-case multiple baseline design across three families was used to evaluate the impact of a manualized Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Families (PTR-F) process for addressing challenging behavior (CB) when delivered in a remote format (PTR-F: R). Results across three U.S. families showed that (a) a functional relation existed between parent…

Zachry, Anne H.; Woods, Lauren – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2023
This paper describes the application of an integrated theoretical framework that consists of behavioral change models to plan preventative educational programs and target interventions to facilitate parent implementation of tummy time (prone positioning) to promote infant development and prevent flattening of the infant's skull. A qualitative…

Teba Hamodat; Helen Flanagan; Dorothy Chitty; Isabel M. Smith – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2024
The publicly funded early intervention program for preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Nova Scotia, Canada, uses the pivotal response treatment (PRT) model. Parents are coached in use of PRT strategies during their children's first week of treatment. We explored whether parents of older preschoolers with limited verbal ability…

Defining the central components of an intervention is critical for balancing fidelity with flexible implementation in both research settings and community practice. Implementation scientists distinguish an intervention's essential components (thought to cause clinical change) and adaptable periphery (recommended, but not necessary). While…

Hampton, Lauren H.; Stern, Yael S.; Fipp-Rosenfield, Hannah; Bearss, Karen; Roberts, Megan Y. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Parents of children on the autism spectrum enrolled in early intervention often receive coaching to address both social communication and disruptive behavior, which are the two most frequently reported concerns by parents. Intervention techniques for both are often recommended to be implemented across daily routines and require the…

Hampton, Lauren H.; Rodriguez, Elizabeth M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Understanding the impact of preemptive interventions on development for those with a high likelihood for autism is a critical step in building a transdiagnostic model of optimized intervention. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the impact of preemptive autism interventions on parent outcomes and child…

LeJeune, Lauren M.; Lemons, Christopher J.; Hokstad, Silje; Aldama, Rebeca; Naess, Kari-Anne B. – Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, 2022
Young children with Down syndrome (DS) often demonstrate impaired oral vocabulary development; however, few intervention studies have focused on this population. One promising method to improve the oral vocabulary of young children with DS may be to train their parents to intervene at home. In this study, we used tele-education methods (e.g.,…

Pickard, Katherine; Burrell, T. Lindsey; Brasher, Susan; Buckley, Derianne; Gillespie, Scott; Sharp, William; Scahill, Lawrence – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Moderate feeding problems affect many children with autism spectrum disorder and often co-occur with disruptive mealtime behaviors. Although parent-mediated interventions have shown promise to support feeding problems, research has primarily occurred within randomized controlled trials when delivered by highly trained clinicians in specialty…

Yang, Hsiu-Wen; Meadan, Hedda; Ostrosky, Michaelene M. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2021
Children with disabilities often experience gross motor delays. Adults, including parents, can play a crucial role in supporting children's motor development. However, a limited number of research studies have focused on building parents' capacity to support their young children's motor skill development. The purpose of this study was to examine…

Recent efforts have focused on developing and evaluating early intervention for toddlers with probable or emerging autism spectrum disorder. Parent-mediated approaches have gained traction, with mounting evidence of efficacy, but a research-to-practice gap exists, and community effectiveness remains to be firmly established. We report outcomes of…

Liao, Ching-Yi; Ganz, J. B.; Wattanawongwan, Sanikan; Haas, April N.; Ura, Sarah K.; Vannest, Kimberly J.; Morin, Kristi L. – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Social-communication deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder often lead to undesirable outcomes in other domains, such as interpersonal relationships, employment, and participation in community activities. Parents may be ideal implementers of interventions to address these deficits when provided with instruction that is efficacious and…
