    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Special Education

    Background:

    • Parent training is crucial for managing developmental disabilities.
    • Effective strategies are needed to teach self-help skills and address behavioral issues in children with intellectual disabilities.
    • Comparing different training modalities can optimize resource allocation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the effectiveness of group versus individual parent training formats.
    • To evaluate the impact of training on parental knowledge and teaching behaviors.
    • To assess changes in child self-help skills and problem behaviors.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixty-six families with children (ages 3-13) with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities were assigned to group training, individual training, or a control group for 3 months.

  • Parental knowledge of behavior modification, parent teaching behaviors, and child outcomes (self-help skills, behavior problems) were measured pre- and post-training.
  • A 6-month follow-up assessed sustained effects.

    • Main Results:

    • Trained families showed significant improvements in parental knowledge and teaching behaviors compared to controls.
    • No significant differences were found in child self-help skills between trained and control groups.
    • Group and individual training formats yielded comparable outcomes for parents and children.

    Conclusions:

    • Both group and individual parent training are effective in enhancing parental skills for children with intellectual disabilities.
    • Group parent training offers a more cost-effective alternative, requiring less professional time per family.
    • Further research may explore specific components contributing to effectiveness across formats.
