Case study: identification of areas of success in an aba based intervention implemented by a mother of a child with ASD

Summary/Abstract: Over the past 15 years there has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of autism. In 2014 the American Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network reported estimated prevalence rates for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to be 1 in 68. This group of children and their families have important service needs. The considerable amount of time and cost involved in providing appropriate interventions, suggest the parent training and involvement as a particularly appealing intervention option. The involvement of parents in implementing intervention strategies designed to help their autistic children has long been accepted as helpful. Different kinds of training methods available to parents have provided positive intervention outcomes. The present article is a case study on a mother of a child with autism implemented intervention. This case study shows which are the areas of success and of negative outcomes for the mother implemented intervention and then compares the same areas with the results achieved by the therapist. The goal is to modestly come with new suggestions to be included in parent training methods.
