“…No differences arose between families of children with ASD/DD and the comparison group. These outcomes indicate that treatment was not extended for families of children with ASD/DD which is reflective of several PCIT studies (see Owen et al, 2019 for a review), although increased number of sessions has been found in previous literature (Zlomke et al, 2017 ). Families of youth with and without ASD/DD also graduated from PCIT at similar rates.…”

While externalizing behaviors are common among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there is a shortage of specialist community-based clinicians to provide treatment. Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an intervention designed to reduce child disruptive behaviors, may be effective for families of children with ASD but has rarely been studied outside of university-based research settings. We examined the effectiveness of PCIT delivered for children with (N = 109) and without (N = 2,324) ASD/developmental delays (DD) across community-based agencies in Oregon. Findings revealed significant reductions in disruptive behavior and positive changes in the parent-child relationship in both groups. These findings support PCIT as an efficacious intervention for children with ASD/DD and demonstrate PCIT’s promise in community-based agencies with non-specialized clinicians.

“…PCIT has demonstrated clinically significant improvements for families of children with disruptive behaviors and ASD. Specifically, positive outcomes have demonstrated enhanced interaction style of parents, decreased child behavior problems, improved child adaptability, increased child vocalizations, and higher child compliance (for a review, see Owen et al, 2019 ; Scudder et al, 2019 ). Moreover, similar outcomes on externalizing behavior, parenting skills, and parental stress have been found when matched-cases for children with and without ASD were compared (Parladé et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Moreover, similar outcomes on externalizing behavior, parenting skills, and parental stress have been found when matched-cases for children with and without ASD were compared (Parladé et al, 2019 ). Previous studies of PCIT with ASD have rarely explored children with more severe levels of autism, children’s medication use, or children outside the typical PCIT age range (older than 7 years; e.g., Scudder et al, 2019 ; see Owen et al, 2019 for a review).…”

“…Although a strong research base is being built for conducting PCIT with children on the autism spectrum (see McNeil et al, 2019 ), most of the more methodologically rigorous studies for PCIT have been implemented with children with Level 1 severity (formerly Asperger syndrome; APA, 2013 ) or have only implemented components of the treatment (i.e., only CDI; see Owen et al, 2019 ). While some case studies have demonstrated PCIT’s success for children with more significant delays, there is a paucity of literature for determining the effectiveness of PCIT for children with lower levels of ASD functioning.…”

“…Individuals with ASD can experience communication deficits in both receptive and expressive language (Özyurt & Eliküçük, 2018 ). Due to the high demand for verbal comprehension inherent in PCIT, studies with PCIT have frequently limited the enrollment to children who have receptive language skills of at least 24 months (Beverly & Zlomke, 2019 ; Owen et al, 2019 ). Improvements in language for children with ASD have been demonstrated in previous PCIT studies (see Beverly & Zlomke, 2019 ).…”

A relatively large number of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit disruptive behavioral problems. While accumulating data have shown behavioral parent training programs to be efficacious in reducing disruptive behaviors for this population, there is a dearth of literature examining the impact of such programs across the range of ASD severity. To evaluate the effectiveness of Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based treatment for children with problem behaviors and their families, in reducing disruptive behaviors among children (4–10 years) with ASD (without intellectual disabilities). Fifty-five children (85.5% male, 7.15 years; SD 1.72) were enrolled from pediatric offices and educational settings into a randomized clinical trial (PCIT: N = 30; Control: N = 25). PCIT families demonstrated a significant reduction in child disruptive behaviors, increase in positive parent–child communication, improvement in child compliance, and reduction in parental stress compared to the control group. Exploratory analyses revealed no differential treatment response based on ASD severity, receptive language, and age. Results are promising for the use of PCIT with children demonstrating disruptive behaviors across the autism spectrum.
