Peer-led parent training effectively teaches skills to parents of children with disabilities, comparable to professional training. This approach supports skill acquisition, maintenance, and generalization for improved child outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Behavioral science
  • Developmental psychology
  • Special education

Background:

  • Parent training is crucial for children with disabilities.
  • Peer-led models offer a scalable alternative to professional training.
  • Evaluating training effectiveness across different parent roles is important.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To replicate and assess a pyramidal model of peer-led parent training.
  • To compare peer-led training with professional-led training.
  • To examine training effects on parents and children with disabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Replicated a pyramidal parent training model.
  • Utilized a multiple probe design across three parent tiers.
  • Included 26 parents of children with disabilities.

Main Results:

  • Both peer-led and professional-led training resulted in skill acquisition, maintenance, and generalization.
  • Children's performance improved in most cases following parent training.
  • Improvements were comparable between peer-trained and professionally-trained parents.

Conclusions:

  • Peer-led parent training is an effective alternative to professional training.
  • The pyramidal model supports skill development in parents of children with disabilities.
  • This model demonstrates scalability and comparable effectiveness across different parent roles.
