Abstract
Social skills are an important part of child development, and children with developmental delays (DD) often show delays in conversational and play skills. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effectiveness of parent training on parent implementation fidelity, effectiveness of parent-implemented video self-modeling (VSM), and evaluate the parents’ experiences and perspectives of the intervention. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline across participants was used to determine a functional relation of parent training to parent implementation fidelity and parent-implemented VSM to the scripted and unscripted play actions and vocalizations. A thematic analysis was conducted on parent interviews to determine the social validity of the intervention. The results showed an increase in parents’ correct implementation of VSM with their child. All three children showed an increase in scripted play actions and scripted vocalizations, but no effect was found for unscripted play actions and unscripted vocalizations. All three parents noted benefits of generalization of skills and noted other developmental changes in their child after the intervention. The current study added to the literature by demonstrating the effectiveness of parent-implemented VSM intervention in the home.
