Abstract

"Parent training is instrumental in ensuring that children's behavior change will maintain and generalize. The purpose of the current investigation was to evaluate the effects of a general video model on parents' implementation of graduated guidance with their children. A multiple baseline design across two parent-child dyads was conducted. Both children were between the ages 2-4 and were diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For each dyad, three tasks were identified that the child could not complete independently. Parents were taught how to implement graduated guidance to a specified performance with Task 1 using General Video Training (task in video was not related to those in the study). Probes were then conducted to assess whether graduated guidance procedures generalized."
