“…This study contributes to both the telehealth AZZANO et Al. parent training literature (Boutain et al, 2020;Drew et al, 2022;Ferguson et al, 2022;Gerow et al, 2021;Lindgren et al, 2020) and interventions for children at risk for ASD (Feldman et al, 2022). This study expands the intervention literature for pre-diagnosed, at-risk young children in several ways.…”

“…Second, based on the POEMS scores confirmed by the direct observation, we designed an individualized child skill curriculum rather than using a standard curriculum that may not meet the child's unique needs and may expose families to unwarranted interventions, given that about 80% of at-risk children (mainly, those with an affected older sibling) will not develop ASD (Messinger et al, 2013). A set curriculum is common to most intervention studies of children at risk for ASD and have obtained equivocal results (Feldman et al, 2022). Administering training via telehealth may enable more families globally to access trained professionals to receive early intervention for their child in a timely manner, particularly during times when in-person access is not available such as a pandemic.…”

“…Like the early intervention literature of children with ASD, studies of parent mediated interventions for infants and young children at risk for ASD show mixed results (Feldman et al, 2022;Law et al, 2021;Yoder et al, 2021).…”

“…A growing body of research focuses on young children at risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (Feldman et al., 2022; Jones et al., 2014; Tanner & Dounavi, 2021). Young children are considered at risk for ASD for several reasons, including high genetic susceptibility (Messinger et al., 2013; Ozonoff et al., 2011), family history conditions such as language disorders and depression (Feldman et al., 2019), perinatal or postnatal conditions associated with ASD (Feldman et al., 2019; Hadjkacem et al., 2016), or identification of possible ASD symptoms using early screening tools (Towle & Patrick, 2016).…”

The global pandemic has highlighted the importance of telehealth to access behavioral interventions. Face-to-face parent training improves the development and behaviors of young children at risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We evaluated a telehealth parent training intervention for a child at risk for ASD. Two parents identified possible early ASD symptoms in their 30-month-old son (lack of imitation, pointing, and vocal manding). Both parents simultaneously received telehealth behavioral skills training on the Parent Intervention for Children at Risk for Autism program for 1 hour per week over 29 weeks. Multiple baseline designs across parent and child behaviors showed that both parents improved their parent teaching fidelity above 80% and the child improved on all trained behaviors. This study expands the utility of telehealth behavioral parent training to young children at risk for ASD to mitigate early symptoms of ASD.

Parent‐mediated interventions for infants and young children with an increased likelihood of autism may help ameliorate developmental concerns; however, generalization of parents' teaching strategies to novel child target skills has not been consistently demonstrated. This study expanded our parent training program, Parent Intervention for Children at‐Risk for Autism (PICARA), by incorporating telehealth general case training (PICARA‐TGCT) to promote generalization of teaching skills. Five parent–child dyads participated. Child target skills were chosen from the categories of imitation, receptive language, and expressive language. A concurrent multiple‐baseline‐across‐participants design was used to evaluate the effect of training across two cohorts of parent–child dyads. Dependent variables included the percentage of correct parent teaching skills and the percentage of child correct responses. Parent teaching skills increased across all participants for both trained and untrained child target skills, as did child skills. This study provides support for PICARA‐TGCT as an efficacious and efficient early intervention model.
