Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Educational Studies.
Many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Developmental Delay (DD) have difficulty with communication. Caregivers, such as parents, often spend a great deal of effort understanding their children and helping them to communicate. Behavior Skills Training (BST) is a didactic instruction procedure that includes the following steps: instructions, modeling, role-play, and feedback. Research has shown that BST is an effective method for training caregivers such as parents, teachers, and paraprofessionals. This study examined the effects of BST on parent implementation of a constant time delay (CTD) procedure for her three children (ages 2-6) with autism or developmental delay. The experimenter trained the mother to use CTD to teach her children to tact pictures. The mother of the three participants was diagnosed with an intellectual disability (ID). The experimental design in this study is the reversal design (A-B-A design and A-B design). Results of the study suggest BST was effective for training the parent to implement the BST steps correctly and was effective for improving each child’s tacting skills. Additionally, according to the social validity, the mother was satisfied the whole study and the procedures of BST and she felt BST is time-efficient. In conclusion, BST on parent implementation is a time-efficient method to enable parents on teaching child at home setting which improve the generalization skills for children’s learning as well. ii
