Observation in Training Parents of Handicapped Children: A Review
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 June 2009
Extract
Research and service-oriented studies are reviewed to indicate issues and promising strategies for evaluation of field-based parent-training. The main areas which professionals and researchers must address themselves to are indicated. A variety of multiple-outcome measures are used. Skill development and transfer of skills to the natural environment remains a poorly evaluated area. Professional workers need to attempt more control in methodology, reporting practice and using research analyses. Researchers will have to direct study to assessing realiability and validity and developing practical instruments for widespread use. The implications of previous work are discussed. The emphasis of the paper is that direct observations of parents working in their natural settings should be the preferred means of evaluation.
