“…In particular, within the range of these interventions that aim to reduce problem behaviour, there appears to be a shift from child-focused behavioural interventions, which are typically carried out by trained therapists to focus exclusively on teaching the target child (e.g., early intensive behavioural intervention [EIBI] programmes), towards an increasing recognition of parent-focused behavioural interventions, which are provided to train parents in the use of appropriate behavioural strategies with their child (e.g., the Stepping Stones Triple P [SSTP] programme) (e.g., Birkin, Anderson, Moore, & Seymour, 2004;Brookman-Frazee, Stahmer, BakerEriczén, & Tsai, 2006;Brookman-Frazee, Vismara, Drahota, Stahmer, & Openden, 2009;Francis, 2005;Matson, Mahan, & Matson, 2009;Schreibman, 2000;Schreibman & Anderson, 2001). This increasing availability of parent-focused behavioural interventions, in turn, serves to highlight the greater role that parents of children with ASD play not only in seeking assistance and deciding which interventions to use, but also in actively learning, implementing, and delivering the interventions themselves.…”
