The results of our previous funding period indicate that parent training is an extremely effective approach to the treatment of autism. It is fast, economical, and produces relatively broad treatment changes. However, one rather serious limitation to date has been that the children are extremely dependent upon their treatment provider (in this case their parents) and continue to exhibit relatively limited autonomous peer related responding even after treatment. Based upon the literature and existing pilot data, we hypothesize that the most productive parent training avenue will be one that involves the child as a major component in the treatment delivery. Specifically, we feel the parents are going to need to learn how to teach self-management skills to these children. The types of changes that are required of the children over the years are those that need to be evidenced in an almost infinite number of environments. Also, as the child matures, the need for independence becomes increasingly great. As a result, we are proposing to compare a control treatment condition consisting of a typical parent training approach where the parents are taught to manage their children's behavior (Parent-Management or PM condition) in comparison to a new parent training approach where the parents are taught to include their child as a central part of the treatment delivery through self-management techniques (Self-Management or SM condition).

我们之前资助期的结果表明，家长培训是 一种非常有效的治疗自闭症的方法。 它很快， 经济，并产生相对广泛的治疗变化。 然而，一 迄今为止相当严重的限制是孩子们极其 取决于他们的治疗提供者（在这种情况下是他们的父母）和 继续表现出相对有限的自主同行相关响应 即使治疗后。 根据文献和现有试点数据，我们假设 最有效的家长培训途径将是让孩子参与的途径 作为治疗的主要组成部分。具体来说，我们感受到 父母需要学习如何教授自我管理技能 这些孩子。 需要孩子做出哪些类型的改变 多年来，那些需要以几乎无限的方式来证明的 环境数量。 另外，随着孩子的成熟，需要 独立性越来越大。 因此，我们建议 比较由典型父母组成的对照治疗条件 教导父母如何管理孩子的培训方法 与新家长相比的行为（家长管理或 PM 条件） 培训方法，教导父母将孩子视为 通过自我管理技术进行治疗的核心部分 （自我管理或 SM 条件）。
