Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine whether a least-to-most prompting hierarchy was effective in teaching students with intellectual disabilities to increase the number of task-analyzed steps independently completed related to folding a pizza box as a potential pre-vocational task. An additional and related purpose of this study was to determine whether a least-to-most prompting hierarchy was effective for improving these students’ productivity while decreasing the level of least-to-most prompts required to complete task-analyzed steps of a pizza box assembly task. A multiple-baseline design across subjects was used to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of a least-to-most prompting hierarchy. Results of this study indicated that the use of a task analysis and a least-to-most prompting hierarchy was effective in teaching individuals with intellectual disabilities pizza box assembly skills. Implications and recommendations for the use of a task analysis with least-to-most prompts for teaching complex vocational tasks to individuals with intellectual disabilities as well as possibilities for future research were also discussed.

Abstract This study examines central themes in therapists’ interpretations and reactions to aggressive behaviors by youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 therapists working with youth with ASD and used interpretative phenomenological analysis. The analysis indicated three main themes: (1) Internal vs. external causes, (2) Mental and physical toll vs. the sense of challenge, and (3) Proactive and reactive coping with aggressive behaviors. The findings contribute to understanding therapists’ perceptions and reactions toward aggressive behaviors among youth with ASD. Clinical implications include the need for training and support for therapists working with youth with ASD.

Abstract It is a difficult and unpleasant experience for mothers to observe and endure their child’s suffering illness, especially when the child is afflicted by an incurable disease such as cancer. This study aimed to better understand the psycho-social problems in mothers of children with cancer. This a qualitative phenomenological study. The sample consisted of a total of 15 mothers. The study determined three main themes: “first reactions of the mothers when they learned the diagnosis of their child,” “the effects of the disease on mothers,” “increased support factors.” It is recommended that mothers be supported emotionally and spiritually.

This article presents behavioral interventions designed to enhance uptake and retention on medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) among transition-age youth (16-25 years) enrolled in treatment services. The article describes three relationship-oriented interventions designed to address barriers to MOUD uptake, enhance MOUD adherence planning, and strengthen OUD recovery among youth: Relational Orientation; Medication Education and Decision-making Support, and Family Leadership and Ownership of Adherence to Treatment. These interventions are inter-connected can be delivered flexibly. The article concludes with three case examples that illustrate how these modular interventions can be tailored to meet the needs of diverse client profiles.

Abstract Indicators of well-being can be important measures for improving the treatment of challenging behavior and family quality of life. We examined methods for assessing activities associated with indices of happiness (IOH) in a 5-year-old girl with Down syndrome, to mitigate challenging behavior during parent-implemented functional communication training (FCT). During the initial phase treatment (FCT + extinction), challenging behavior persisted, and parents expressed an emerging sense of hopelessness. Treatment modifications informed by the assessments resulted in a > 90% decrease in challenging behavior, promoted reinforcer schedule thinning, improved cooperation with daily routines, and also increased the child’s IOH and parent satisfaction.

Abstract The most well-established evidence-based treatment for disruptive behavior disorders is behavioral parent training (BPT), however, parents face many barriers to treatment. A health maintenance model (HMM) of mental health care delivery, which promotes wellness rather than treating illness, could help parents overcome barriers. The purpose of this study was to compare parents’ (n = 263) treatment acceptability and preference ratings of an HMM to traditional BPT. Results indicated parents found BPT significantly more acceptable and preferable overall, yet found aspects of HMM preferable. Results suggest modifying traditional BPT to focus on prevention and wellness may increase treatment acceptability and engagement.

Abstract Enhanced parenting programs aim to meet broader family needs. Past research shows mixed effects for standard programs across differing family characteristics. We evaluate pre- to post-intervention improvements for fathers (n = 115) and mothers (n = 223) of children aged 3 to 12 years with externalizing behaviors who participated in an 8-week mindfulness- and imagery-enhanced behavioral parenting group program. Parents reported high acceptability and significant pre- to post-intervention improvements, with large effect sizes, in parent well-being, parenting approach, mindful parenting, and child behavior. Fathers attended the same number of sessions as mothers and demonstrated similar improvements. Blending imagery and mindfulness with behavioral skills appears helpful, including for fathers.

Abstract An 8-week pilot study evaluated a brief attachment-based parenting program, Aware Parenting, for parents of children aged 2 − 4 years. This study is a preliminary evaluation of a brief version of the Aware Parenting approach. Thirty-three parents were randomly assigned to either the program group (n = 17) or control group (n = 16). Descriptive statistics found that the program group scores for Parent Efficacy and Empowerment Measurement (PEEM) improved, and parents’ reports of total difficulties as measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) slightly decreased. Findings from this study may be useful for future research of Aware Parenting programs.

Abstract Celiac disease (CD) has a substantial impact on caregivers since parental involvement is inevitable in a gluten-free diet (GFD). This study aims to compare the alteration in depression and perceived stress levels in parents of children with CD within 6 months of GFD. Parents of 104 pre-treatment children with CD were included. Beck depression inventory (BDI) and perceived stress scale (PSS) were applied to parents before and after treatment. BDI and PSS scores lowered significantly. Final PSS scores were higher in working mothers, parents with higher education, higher income and parents of symptomatic patients. This study highlights the need for psychosocial support in CD.
