Method: This was a pretest-posttest equivalent-group design study, 30 children who have or are at risk for a developmental delay, aged 0-72 months,participated in the study. According to random assignment,these 30 children were assigned to two groups.Control group received 16 center-based treatment sections;Experimental groupreceived 8 center-based treatment sections and 8 parent participation occupational therapy sections for 8 weeks.All children were assessed before and after the intervention. Differences in change over time and between groups were analyzed.This study to do the descriptive statistical analysis, Chi-Square Test, independent sample t test , Pair-Sample t test, analysis of covariance, correlation coefficient analysis (Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient ),Analysis of C2ovariance，ANCOVA、nonparametric statistics（Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H）and all statistics analysis reach the level of significance (p = 0.05).
Results: Change in development, and independence over time favored the children who received the parent participation occupationaltherapy program intervention. Progress in the intervention group was 1.895 times greater than that in control group on all outcome tests.
Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that auxiliary parent participation occupational therapy program with parent involvement increase cognitive ability、language ability、motor ability(gross motor and fine motor)、social abilityand self-care abilityin young children with developmental delay. The researcher finally proposes suggestions and future research direction derived for the currently existing to the research findings.
