Evaluating the Impact of Online Training Addressing Challenging Behaviors of Children With Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities in Saudi Arabia
Professionals working with individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities in Saudi Arabia have identified limited professional development opportunities related to autism as a persistent challenge. They also report insufficient use of data to inform decisions regarding plans and instructions for autistic individuals. To address these needs, we culturally and linguistically adapted online training modules that cover strategies based …
A quality appraisal of cultural adaptation of caregiver-implemented interventions for young autistic children
Many evidence-based practices in autism aim to improve outcomes for both family and child. Caregiver-implemented intervention is one example of such evidence-based practice as it aims to strengthen caregivers' capacity in a natural environment. Although caregiver-implemented interventions in early autism intervention are supported by research and used by many practitioners and families, marginalized families of young autistic children from divers…
Classroom and Behavior Management Training Needs and Perceptions
Behavior management training for teachers in the induction phase
Teachers in the induction phase (i.e., the first 3 years of teaching) can be underprepared to support students who engage in challenging behavior. This can be due to limited preservice education and ongoing professional development in behavior management. Yet, students who engage in challenging behavior are at an increased risk of being referred to intervention services and/or special education, especially at the elementary level. The purposes of…
Preservice teachers' perspectives and use of behavior management strategies
Much of the current literature focuses on how preservice teachers are prepared to support entire classrooms (i.e., classroom management) instead of individual students (i.e., behavior management). Because of this gap in the literature, little is known about how preservice elementary education teachers are prepared to support students who are perceived to engage in challenging behavior in their classrooms. Therefore, the purpose of the current stu…
Cultural adaptation of an intervention for caregivers of young autistic children
Caregivers of autistic children in low‐to‐middle‐income countries experience many barriers to access resources to support their child's development. Caregiver training is considered an evidence‐based practice and may be a cost‐effective way to support caregivers of autistic children in such settings. This study focuses on the cultural adaptation of Parents Taking Action (PTA; Magaña et al., Family Process , 56 , 57–74, 2017) to support caregivers…
Parent-Implemented Telepractice Autism Intervention
The extent to which people maintain new skills and generalize those skills to new contexts without support are two aspects of intervention research that can be difficult to examine, especially over a sustained period of time and across a variety of contexts. In past research, we have explored teaching parents and caregivers to implement evidence-based communication strategies with their young children with autism who are minimally verbal. When a …

Parent and Professional Experiences Supporting African-American Children with Autism
Building Family–Professional Partnerships with Culturally, Linguistically, and Economically Diverse Families of Young Children
Tamara is a single mother of two children, Isaiah (2 years old) and RaShawn (5 years old). She recently noticed that Isaiah was not developing in the same ways his older brother did when he was Isaiah’s age. Unsure of where to go with her concerns about Isaiah’s development, Tamara contacted a local University child development center that referred her to a developmental pediatrician. Following an initial visit and follow-up assessments, Isaiah w…
Children's perceptions of school‐based violence
Background. An important first step in understanding school‐based violence is understanding children's subjective perceptions of the phenomena. Understanding these perceptions is likely to be a major factor in determining the integrity of both prevalence and intervention studies. Aims. We investigated how elementary and secondary aged children perceived school‐based violence. Sample. A sample of 979 children from a nested random sample of element…
