T-ABA Group Based Early Intervention For Parents of Children With ASD

Participants will be enrolled in a five week Targeted Applied Behavior Analysis (T-ABA) parent therapy group. T-ABA parent groups will be 1.5 hours in length. Following the five weeks of parent group sessions, parents will participate in five weekly one-hour parent-therapist sessions in which a therapist will work one-on-one with the parent and their child. One treatment group (T-ABA Parent Group plus Individual Therapy) will also receive eight one-hour individual therapist-child applied behavior analysis therapy sessions concurrent with the parent group and parent-therapist sessions. The second treatment group (T-ABA Parent Training Only) will be offered eight one hour individual therapist-child applied behavior analysis sessions at the conclusion of the study if desired.
