Entry for August 28, 2008 - Parent Training in Children with Disabilities

A recent study published in the American Journal of Mental Retardation, reports that parents of preschool aged children with developmental disabilities who participated in a 12 week Incredible Years Parent Training Program displayed superior results in reducing negative parent child interactions and behavior problems when compared to the control group who did not receive the parent training.
