Conjoint Behavioral Consultation for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Garbacz, S. Andrew; McIntyre, Laura Lee
School Psychology Quarterly, v31 n4 p450-466 Dec 2016
The present study examined the efficacy of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation (CBC) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in early elementary school. In addition, the parent-teacher relationship, parent and teacher competence in problem solving, and CBC acceptability were examined. Participants included 3 children with ASD in early elementary school, and their parents and teachers. Findings suggested (a) CBC was efficacious for treating children's social behavior in classrooms, (b) 2 of 3 parent-teacher dyads reported improvements in the parent-teacher relationship, (c) all parents and teacher reported increases in their problem-solving competences, and (d) CBC was highly acceptable to parents and teachers. Implications for CBC research and interventions for children with ASD are discussed.
