  1. Autism Distance Education Parent Training (ADEPT) Presented By: Patricia Schetter, MA, BCBA Coordinator of ASD Education Initiates CEDD at the MIND Institute

  2. Goals of this Training • Describe the rationale for developing web based parent training modules • Describe the process used to develop ADEPT modules • Provide an overview of Module 1: Strategies for Teaching Functional Skills • Demonstrate use of ADEPT as part of LEA parent training

  3. Partners • C.E.D.D. at the MIND Institute • Autism and Behavior Training Associates(ABTA) • UC Davis Extension • ALTA California Regional Center • Folsom Cordova Unified School District • F.E.A.T and Sac AS IS • Rowell Family Empowerment Center • Fiesta Educativa Funding By: State Council on Developmental Disabilities

  4. Recognized Need for Parent Training Resources • Autism impacts 1 in 110 children (CDC, 2009) • Waiting lists for parent training groups • Difficult for families who live in rural or remote areas • Hard to find bilingual and bicultural opportunities for parent training • Extended family and caregivers require training

  5. Parent Training is an Evidence Based Practice According to NPDC-ASD (2010) Parent-implemented interventions meet the Evidence Based Practice criteria for children with ASD

  6. With what ages is parent-implemented intervention effective? • Within the evidence-base, studies included learners as young as 2 and as old as 9 years of age.

  7. What target behaviors or skills are appropriate for parent-implemented intervention? • Communication: social communication skills, conversation skills, spontaneous language, use of augmentative and alternative communication, joint attention, and interaction in play. • Adaptive Skills and Behavior: compliance, reduction of aggression, increased eating and self care, and reduction of disruptive behaviors.

  8. Questions We Considered • Can effective parent training be conducted using technology? • Is there a desire by parents to access training in this way? • What content do parents need most?

  9. Development – Initial Survey • Based on assessed needs of parents • Info on content and delivery collected through web based parent survey (2007) • Over 500 families from Northern and Central CA responded

  10. Greatest Needs: • Behavior • Skills Teaching/Adaptive Skills • Functional Communication • Navigating the Service Systems • Play and Social Skills

  11. Preferred Delivery Format • Many continue to prefer face to face for group support format • Many prefer to access through technology due to time, convenience, child care issues, travel, language or learning needs • Many cited need to share information with others who partake in caring for their child

  12. Two Modules Developed -Piloted as Face to Face Courses • Teaching Adaptive Skills using Applied Behavior Analysis Strategies • Positive Behavior Support for Families

  13. Targeting appropriate skills Structuring the environment for success Task Analysis and breaking down skills Shaping Prompting and prompt fading Using positive reinforcement Providing error correction Addressing resistance Generalization of skills Concepts Taught: Skills Teaching

  14. Antecedent/trigger analysis Prevention planning and restructuring routines Determining the function of a behavior Teaching replacement behaviors and skills Using common sense response strategies Rewarding appropriate behavior Concepts Taught: Positive Behavior

  15. Pilots - Delivery Method • Offered 4 cohorts as face to face group training with 10 families in each group • Videotaped training sessions and home visits to provide visual support to the online modules • Collected data on parent responses and feedback

  16. Pilots - Instructors • Co-taught by parents experienced in using techniques with their children on the autism spectrum AND professionals with training and expertise in behavior analysis and teaching children with ASD • Model of best practice to provide theory and practical application

  17. Outcomes and Feedback • Growth in both confidence and application as measured using self evaluation tools and behavioral vignettes • Parents felt the curriculum was user friendly and effective

  18. Next Steps: • Developed module on Skills Teaching into online format • Translated into Spanish by Bilingual and Bicultural Board Certified behavior Analyst (BCBA) • Conducted a test group in Northern CA and took feedback to modify content and format • Received consultation from primary consumers and family members regarding content, format and accessibility

  19. Now Available On CEDD website www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/ddcenter/ On CD – distributed to Regional Centers, SELPAs and Family Resource Centers from Frenso to Oregon Border
