“…Marroquin and colleagues (2014) taught parents to use compliance training and least-to-most prompting to reduce children’s challenging behavior and promote appropriate behavior. Similarly, Robertson (2016) taught three parents of children with ASD to implement a differential reinforcement intervention incorporating visual supports to teach appropriate alternatives to child problem behaviors.…”

Parent-mediated interventions (PMIs) are commonly used with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and their effectiveness for young children has been documented. However, no reviews have examined the use of PMIs with older children with ASD. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to investigate the state of the literature regarding PMIs for school-age children with ASD and to evaluate their effectiveness across domains. Eighteen studies of PMIs examining 170 child participants with ASD were included. Participants, interventions, and the effects of the interventions are described. Overall, studies demonstrated moderately positive effects for PMIs for school-age children with ASD. Group design studies demonstrated an overall effect size (ES) of 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) = [0.50, 1.09], while single-case design (SCD) studies yielded an overall ES of 1.84, 95% CI = [1.08, 2.60]. More research is needed to understand the differential effectiveness of parent training components, and future research should focus on including measures of parent treatment integrity, to aid in the understanding of program efficacy.

“…For these studies, Black caregivers' reports of racist experiences in their interactions with the U.S. health care system are critical concerns that the behavior-analytic community needs to consider. By examining these studies, we wish to contribute to behavior analysts' ability to widen their approaches to the investigation of the social validity of their practice when working with Black families (see Robertson, 2016).…”

“…Their analysis found that in 79 U.S. studies, only 6.2% included Black children in the sample (compared to 72.1% white children), and no studies adapted their interventions for Black participants. Thus, when Black families seek support through the health care system, there is only a small chance that they will find a treatment that is tailored specifically to Black children and their families, despite the clear value of cultural adaptations (see Robertson, 2016, for the social validity of parentimplemented behavior intervention for Black children with ASD).…”

Significant racial and ethnic disparities in health care and service access exist. In the present article, we reviewed qualitative studies investigating the racism-related experiences of Black caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the U.S. health care system. Specifically, we examined institutional racism (i.e., systemic racism) and individual racism directed toward Black families when they seek diagnoses and services for their children with ASD. Additionally, we summarized culturally responsive and context-specific practice guidelines to work collaboratively with Black caregivers of children with ASD for applied behavior analysis practitioners.
