Description
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require intensive interventions to form appropriate developmental skills. One area commonly observed as challenging is compliance with parents and/or caregivers’ requests. Children with ASD often present with interfering behaviors such as aggression or elopement. These interfering behaviors often result in delays to learning appropriate skills as well as a disruption to ongoing family practices and routines (e.g. a parent requesting a child to come sit down for dinner resulting in the child throwing toys). One potential method that may be effective to reduce these challenging behaviors and increase desirable behaviors, such as following requests, is to incorporate a parent-implemented time-based intervention to help autistic individuals increase skills. The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate research that has incorporated parent-implemented interventions to reduce problem behavior and increase compliance behaviors and evaluate the efficiency of those interventions.
