Evaluation of an intervention system for parents of children with intellectual disability and challenging behaviour

Abstract

Finally, there were minimal differences among the three modes of delivery on the measures used, although families who used the self-directed mode were less likely to complete the materials. Implications of these results for service delivery are discussed.

Reducing problem behavior during care-giving in families of preschool-aged children with developmental disabilities

“…This study supports and extends the findings of previous research (Harrold et al, 1992;Hudson et al, 2003;Huynen et al, 1996;Roberts et al, 2006;Sanders & Plant, 1989) which demonstrates the efficacy of behavioral parent training with parents of children with developmental disabilities. These studies have generally reported reductions in child problem behavior and improvements in positive parent behavior following parent programs involving contingency management training, planned activities training, compliance training, or a combination of these programs.…”

“…More recently, Hudson et al (2003) investigated the effectiveness of a behavioral parent training program which focused on enhancing parent-child interactions, replacing problem behavior with appropriate behavior, planning for appropriate behavior, and teaching children new skills. Following training parents reported improved child behavior, that they were more effective in managing their child's behavior, and were less stressed.…”

“…Although standard parent training programs are effective in reducing child problem behavior and improving parent behavior in families of children with developmental disabilities (Harrold et al, 1992;Hudson et al, 2003;Huynen et al, 1996;Roberts et al, 2006;Sanders & Plant, 1989), the inclusion of adjunctive training components which address other family problems contributing to care-giving may add to the efficacy of these interventions. This finding is supported in a recent review (Hastings & Beck, 2004) which concludes that stress interventions for parents of children with developmental disabilities have a positive impact upon parent adjustment and mental health.…”

Training Parents of Children with Intellectual Disabilities: Trends, Issues, and Future Directions

“…The remainder of this chapter is organized into three sections: (a) trends and issues, (b) future research and limitations, and (c) conclusion. Although interventions for parents of children with IDD have received some attention in the parent education literature [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56], it appears that the majority of recent parent education interventions have included parents of children with ASD rather than children with an intellectual disability.…”

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

“…A variety of parent training programmes have been developed to address such behavioural problems in children with developmental disabilities (Baker & Abbott Feinfield, in press;GavidiaPayne & Hudson, 2002;Hudson, 2000;Lutzker & Steed, 1998), including group-based behavioural parent training programmes (e.g., Brightman, Baker, Clark & Ambrose, 1982;Chadwick, Morncilovic, Rossiter & Stumbles, 2001;Heifetz, 1977;Hudson, 1985;Hudson et al, 2003;Jocelyn, Casiro, Beattie, Dow & Kneisz, 1998;Kashima, Baker & Landen, 1988;Prieto-Bayard & Baker, 1986;Tavormina, 1975). In parallel with these developments in the disability field, videomodelling assisted training packages for use in group-based settings for parents of children with conduct problems (but without developmental disabilities) have been developed and the efficacy of these programmes is well established (e.g., Behan & Carr, 2000;Webster-Stratton & Reid, 2003).…”
