Parent Implemented Intervention (Autism Spectrum Disorders)

In many parts of the world parent implemented intervention is the only intervention available for children with autism and due to the economic downturn may soon be the only intervention available in increasing sectors of the globe. For this reason and also because of the efficacy of (benefit from) parent implemented intervention (in most cases where the parent is provided with good consultation to better help their own child and where the parent is willing to adjust their interaction with a child of special needs) providers must learn to be more adept at working with families and providing needed consultation.

As you see here, as in all three of the closely associated websites: Best Practice, Better Outcomes/How to write Measurable Behavioral Objectives, Goals & Plans http://bestoutcomes.blogspot.com/ ; Current Autism News & Research or Hope for Autism http://currentautismresearchhopeforautism.blogspot.com/  ; and ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PARENTING: A RESEARCH BASED RESOURCE GUIDE http://responsiblepracticalparenting.blogspot.com/ 

There is a great deal of evidence from research which clearly demonstrates that parents can, with help of qualified consultants, provide therapeutic intervention for their own children. As mentioned previously, this may require learning to interact with their child with special needs in ways which must be adjusted from how they may interact with a typically developing child. While the adjustments may be; they are not always substantial.

Please see the following presentation for additional information and links to even more information. (All three of the websites listed above also provide a great deal of information on the subject as well as the ability to ask questions and discuss with others.) http://www.autisminternetmodules.org/mod_intro.php?mod_id=94
