Parent programs for parents of children with autism spectrum disorders.
Parents are in most cases the most stable and lasting resource for persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The number of parent programs available is therefor encouraging, but the effect of many of these programs are uncertain. Now Autism has published an article by Patterson, Smith and Mirenda online that provides a systematic review of training programs for parents of children with autism spectrum disorders with contributions from single subjects.
Their review indicates that several parent programs have moderate effect based on the provided data, indicating that programs may be useful in teaching parents to implement effective strategies. However there is need for more reserach to better understand how such programs may support parents in using this strategies as the child gets older in daily situations.
