Parent Training Interventions matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in clinic sessions and day-to-day service delivery. In Parent Training Interventions, for this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

Their involvement and active participation in the generalization and development of their child's program are critically important. At the same time, parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience a great deal of stress and an overwhelming number of responsibilities and needs associated with their child's diagnosis, which can impact their participation and active engagement. As Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), we can support our clients and their families by using evidence-based interventions. This panel will provide a comparison of evidence-based interventions (Research Units Behavioral Intervention (RUBI), Project ImPACT, and Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)) that can be utilized in conjunction with parent training to provide comprehensive support to families and increase effective parent engagement. The panelists will begin by reviewing relevant research, highlighting how different evidence-based parent training methods can be applied to fit each family's needs and optimize skill acquisition. Case examples will be presented, allowing the panelists to review and compare clinical experiences and outcomes of evidence-based parent training methods. The remaining time will be used to answer questions from the audience to promote further discussion on the importance of providing comprehensive parent training and support.
