An Evaluation of the Parents Plus Programme for pre-School Children with Conduct Problems: A Comparison of those with and without Developmental Disabilities

A Controlled Clinical Evaluation of the Parents Plus Children’s Programme: A Video-based Programme for Parents of Children Aged 6 to 11 with Behavioural and Developmental Problems

“…However, the programme was more effective for families with exclusive behavioural difficulties on several outcomes. This is interesting considering that studies evaluating the effectiveness of the Original Parents Plus and the Early Years found the programmes equally effective for those with behavioural difficulties, both with and without developmental difficulties (Griffin et al, 2006;Quinn et al, 2006Quinn et al, , 2007. However, the children in these investigations were younger, under 7 years of age, than in the current study.…”

A Review of Intervention Programs to Prevent and Treat Behavioral Problems in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

“…Results from the Parents Plus and PATHS programs support broadly offering programs for children with or without developmental disabilities (Greenberg et al 1995; Griffin et al 2010; Quinn et al 2006). Furthermore, adaptations of existing parenting interventions with strong evidence for effectiveness in the general population (i.e., Incredible Years, Triple P, Parent–child Interaction Therapy ) appear to produce positive intervention effects and are acceptable to families of children with developmental disabilities.…”

Effects of parent management training programs on disruptive behavior for children with a developmental disability: A meta-analysis

“…The first type, efficacy studies, has studied the effects of PMT when the child has a developmental disability. Such studies include the effect of PMT on parental mental health and/or parenting skills (Tonge et al, 2006;Todd et al, 2010;Davidson, 2011;Gammon & Rose, 1991;Neff, 2012;Niccols & Mohamed, 2000); or child outcomes (Drew et al, 2002); or parent and child outcomes (Chadwick, Momčilović , Rossiter, Stumbles, & Taylor, 2001;Coughlin, Sharry, Fitzpatrick, Guerin, & Drumm, 2009;Feldman & Werner, 2002;Fujiwara, Kato, & Sanders, 2011;Griffin, Guerin, Sharry, & Drumm, 2010;Hand, Raghallaigh, Cuppage, Coyle, & Sharry, 2013;Hudson et al, 2003;McIntyre, 2008aMcIntyre, , 2008bResearch Units on Pediatric Psychopharmacology [RUPP] Autism Network, 2007;Roberts & Pickering, 2010;Quinn, Carr, Carroll, & O'Sullivan, 2006;Tellegen & Sanders, 2014;Whittingham, Sofronoff, Sheffield, & Sanders, 2009). The second type are systematic and literature reviews which also have been conducted on PMT programs for children with a developmental disability (Brookman-Frazee et al, 2006;Gavidia-Payne & Hudson, 2002;Hastings, Robertson, & Yasamy, 2012;Matson et al, 2009;Roberts et al, 2003;Singer, Ethridge, & Aldana, 2007), and review the outcomes of efficacy studies.…”

“…Although the three studies (Coughlin et al, 2009;Hand, Raghallaigh, et al, 2013;Quinn et al, 2007) included in the current meta-analysis were conducted on children with developmental disability only, an earlier study published by Quinn et al (2006) did compare outcomes of children with a developmental disability with children who were otherwise typically developing (both had problems related to conduct). In the Quinn et al (2006) study, children with a disability had larger improvements in behavior than that of typically developing children.…”
