Detaljeret beskrivelse
Specific Aims: Many children with Autism in West Virginia are not able to access the evidence-based treatment, intensive applied behavior analysis, because of insurance barriers and lack of providers. Training parents in applied behavior analysis using the Competent Learner Model may allow children to access treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine if it is feasible to use online training units, group sessions for caregivers co-led by a parent, and family coaching sessions to improve the functioning of children with Autism. The current study is the first examination of Competent Learner Model as an independent intervention for parents using a hybrid of group and family sessions. Hypotheses: (1) Parent will complete therapy homework and attend 90% of sessions. (2) Parents will report a decrease in parenting stress.
Background: Autism is a lifelong, developmental disorder that affects 1 in 59 children, which represents about 720 children in the region of West Virginia where this study took place. Challenges for children with Autism include difficulty making and keeping friends, trouble talking to people, and insisting on rigid routines that interfere with daily life. The children may have challenging behavior such as hitting themselves, hitting others, and extreme meltdowns. Children may struggle to learn in typical classrooms, and may have trouble going to community events with their families. Families participate in fewer community activities leading to social isolation, and parents of children with Autism are more stressed than other parents. 25-40 hours per week of applied behavior analysis for 1-3 years is the evidence-based treatment for Autism. Many insurance companies in West Virginia specifically exclude services for children with Autism, and the Mountaineer Autism Project has estimated that only 1.6% of children with Autism in the state are receiving applied behavior analysis. Additionally, West Virginia has a limited number of providers for Autism. Children with Autism make greater progress across multiple settings (e.g., home, public) when their caregivers are involved in treatment, and coaching results in greater improvements in child behavior following behavioral parent training. Parent-implemented interventions for Autism are promising but more research is needed. When parents are trained to use the therapeutic strategies, the parent may be able to increase the child's skill development (e.g., self-care, functional academics, and social skills) across multiple settings and feel less stressed. The Competent Learner Model uses concepts and strategies from applied behavior analysis, Direct Instruction, and Precision Teaching to improve functioning of individuals with Autism. The program targets core skills that facilitate successful participation across all areas of an individuals' life, and it can be applied across all ages and developmental levels. A core component of the Competent Learner Model is the Course of Study, which has been used to train professionals and lay people. The Course of Study is a sequence of online training units using programmed instruction formats with embedded active student responding, video examples, and skill check outs. Coaching is a critical component of the program. While the Competent Learner Model uses well-researched strategies, the research of the program's effectiveness consists primarily of poster presentations and a handful of dissertations. One study found parents were better able to apply strategies and reported less stress when the parents were trained supplemental to their child's treatment. The effectiveness of the Competent Learner Model as implemented by parents independent of other treatment is unknown. Parent training using the Competent Learner Model may provide access to effective treatment for families. If this program is effective in training parents, it will increase access to effective services, decrease the amount of face-to-face time a parent must spend with a clinician and, thus, allow the clinician to serve a greater number of families simultaneously. More broadly, this treatment approach may present a treatment option for rural Americans with limited access to behavioral health outside of West Virginia as well. The study will contribute to the literature of training parents as therapists for their children with Autism.
