Please provide some recommendations for how to involve parents in developing communication skills of children with ASD.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but may include the following:
1. Engage the social communication training in community-based settings.
2. Embed communication skills in daily activities and routines and prompt children to use these newly learned skills throughout the day to increase the intensity of the intervention and promote generalization.
3. Parents and trainers engage in collaborative goal setting to identify treatment targets.
4. Trainers present new intervention techniques, discuss how the treatments can be useful for addressing the child’s specific language goals, model the techniques with the child while the parent watches, and allow parents to practice with positive and corrective feedback.
5. At the end of each training session, parents and trainers can develop a homework plan for the parent to carry out between sessions.
6. Parents implement the communication interventions.
