Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors.

Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement.

Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

946
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychology
  • Digital Mental Health
  • Behavioral Interventions

Background:

  • Access to evidence-based mental health services is limited.
  • Telehealth and mobile health offer solutions to overcome traditional barriers.
  • Behavioral parent training (BPT) is effective for child disruptive behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a mobile BPT app, Treks.
  • To evaluate Treks as a standalone treatment (Study 1) and with clinician consultation (Study 2).

Main Methods:

  • Study 1: 20 caregivers used Treks for 4 weeks.
  • Study 2: 26 caregivers of autistic children received telehealth consultation, then used Treks or online resources (control).
  • Outcomes measured parenting stress, parent competence, and child behavior problems.

Main Results:

  • Treks was rated positively for feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness.
  • Study 1: 60% completion; 83% of completers showed reliable improvement.
  • Study 2: Treks group showed significant decreases in child behavior problems and parent stress, and increased parent competence compared to control.

Conclusions:

  • Mobile app-delivered BPT is a feasible and acceptable standalone treatment.
  • This digital intervention can support families, especially those with limited access to traditional care.
  • Consider Treks within a stepped-care model for child behavior issues.
