“…Results of pre/post assessments of parents' knowledge of behavior management principles (O'Dell, 1979) in dicated that all three parents increased their knowledge of behavior principles following participation in the parent training program. For Parents 1 and 3, a signif icant increase in correct responding was observed on this measure from pre to post assessments (i.e., Parent 1: 44% correct pretest, 76% correct posttest; Parent 3: 44% correct pretest, 74% correct posttest).…”

This study examined the effectiveness of a behavioral parent training package that included initial training in two settings in the home with generalization of parenting skills (and the need for additional intervention) being assessed to a third setting in the home. Training in behavior modification skills was introduced in a multi ple baseline design across parents. The results showed that although all parents increased their correct use of behavior modification skills following the introduction of intervention in two home settings, only one parent out of three spontaneously generalized these skills to a third home setting. The results of this study suggest that generalization of parenting skills across home settings may not take place for some parents without specific programming. Finally, the study showed that once skills had generalized across settings, parenting skills and child efforts maintained over a 1-year period.DESCRIPTORS: autism, behavior management, early intervention, families, generalization, parent train ing, parents Although the need for a more intensive investigation of generalization of parenting skills has been clearly cited in a number of parent training reviews (e.g., Baker,

Variables affecting ratings of intervention acceptability and effectiveness have been widely studied. In the literature, several variables have produced reliable results, such as type of intervention and severity of problem behavior. One variable that remains uninvestigated is the effect of providing functional analysis information on ratings of interventions. We analyzed the ratings of 55 teachers for both the effectiveness and acceptability of a range of interventions. We also evaluated the impact on those ratings of providing three levels of functional information about the targeted problem behavior: (a) structural (descriptive) information, (b) information describing an escape function (negative reinforcement), and (c) information describing an attention function (positive reinforcement). Sample demographics are reported, along with scores on an evaluation of knowledge of behavioral principles and causes of problem behavior. The teachers differentially rated brief interruption and differential reinforcement according to the functional information provided in the case vignettes. Severity of the problem behavior did not influence ratings. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of teacher training and support for intervention efforts that include functional assessment strategies.
