Abstract

One of the main concerns of parents of children with developmental disabilities such as autism is the management of problem behaviour, including aggression, self-injury, and tantrums, which can be obstacles to placing a child in schools or other community settings. Children are unnecessarily isolated and this manual is the result of an evidence-based program that teaches positive skills to parents of young children with disabilities. Many parents feel powerless in the face of their child's disability, and therefore give up trying to change problem behaviour. This 8-week program teaches parents to identify these thoughts, and provides optimistic alternatives. Sessions include how to identify behaviour triggers, and strategies for managing these situations, replacing destructive behaviours, and maintaining a positive outlook on the child's development. It helps parents create a behaviour management strategy to use and how to have a more effective, optimistic attitude. A corresponding Workbook provides forms for monitoring the child's behaviour, homework assignments, and positive reinforcement for parents.

Keywords: children, developmental disabilities, autism, aggression, self-injury, tantrums, socialization, parents, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT
