A multiple baseline across behaviors design was conducted to determine whether (a) parents of children with Autism are capable of implementing effective behavioral intervention strategies, (b) teaching parents to act as behavior change agents in the home will increase their child’s compliance to low probability requests, (c) frequency of compliance has an impact on escape behavior, (d) the gradual fading of high-p request sequences will have an impact on compliance to low-p requests, (e) compliance to low-p requests could be maintained after the intervention was terminated, (f) this parent training package is socially valid. The results of this study indicate that a parent can be trained to be an effective behavioral change agent and increase their child’s compliance to requests that have a low probability for completion. 2004 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1407141085 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1407141085 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
