Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) involves difficulties in social interaction and communication, restricted interests and repetitive behaviour. Approximately half of children with ASD also exhibit disruptive behaviours such as tantrums and aggression, which can be stressful for the child and family.
Parent Training for Disruptive Behavior is an 11-session intervention for parents who wish to learn how to reduce disruptive behaviours and increase adaptive skills in their children with ASD. Each session introduces effective behaviour change strategies and includes easy-to-use worksheets, checklists, and take-home activities to help parents apply what they have learned. By participating in this intervention with a trained therapist, parents can help their children overcome behaviour problems, promoting happier kids and families.
