Effectiveness of Training Parents to Teach Joint Attention in Children with Autism

¨     Parents were trained to increase their joint attention bids using behavior analytic techniques to facilitate appropriate responding.

¨     Parents effectively employed joint attention intervention techniques.

¨     As parent joint attention bids increased, children's responses increased.

¨     Children's joint attention initiations also increased, even though they were not direct targets of intervention.

¨     Findings suggest that parent behaviors during and after intervention impact generalization and maintenance of behavior changes.
