  • Title: Improving parent-child interactions for families of children with developmental disabilities.
    Author: Harrold M, Lutzker JR, Campbell RV, Touchette PE.
    Journal: J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry; 1992 Jun; 23(2):89-100. PubMed ID: 1460105.
    Abstract:
    Child Management Training (CMT) involves compliance training with a focus on consistent use of antecedents and consequences. Planned Activities Training (PAT) focuses on teaching parents to plan for and engage in activities with their children. A multiple probe design counterbalancing PAT and CMT showed that PAT and CMT were about equally effective in improving mother-child interactions in four families with children with developmental disabilities. Responses to a social validation questionnaire indicated that parents were satisfied with the services received, and that PAT was the slightly preferred treatment. Prior research demonstrated that PAT enhanced the results of CMT. The practical advantages of PAT over CMT are discussed.
