Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Parent involvement is crucial for tailored early intervention programs. The Hanen More Than Words (HMTW) program is a parent-implemented language intervention for autistic children. The current study examined the effectiveness of the HMTW program delivered online among Chinese families.
UNASSIGNED: Using a randomized controlled trial design, 22 Chinese families of autistic children in Hong Kong completed the trial. Baseline and post-intervention assessments were conducted to measure changes in parent-child interaction, parents\' use of linguistic facilitation techniques (LFTs), and children\'s communication skills. Additionally, the influence of parental self-efficacy and parenting stress on treatment outcomes was explored.
UNASSIGNED: The intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in parent-child attention synchrony. Although the treatment effect on children\'s spontaneous communication was not significant, the intervention group showed a larger effect size compared to the controls. The treatment outcomes were mainly influenced by the parents\' initial levels of self-efficacy but not by parenting stress.
UNASSIGNED: These findings provide preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of the online-delivered HMTW program for Chinese parents of autistic children. Further research involving a larger sample and focusing on long-term effects is needed.
摘要:
父母的参与对于量身定制的早期干预计划至关重要。HanenMoreThanWords(HMTW)计划是针对自闭症儿童的父母实施的语言干预。当前的研究检查了在线提供的HMTW计划在中国家庭中的有效性。
使用随机对照试验设计,香港的22个中国自闭症儿童家庭完成了试验。进行基线和干预后评估,以衡量亲子互动的变化,父母使用语言促进技术(LFTs),和孩子的沟通技巧。此外,探讨了父母自我效能感和父母教养压力对治疗结局的影响.
干预组在亲子注意力同步性方面表现出显着改善。虽然治疗对儿童自发沟通的影响并不显著,与对照组相比,干预组显示出更大的效应量.治疗结果主要受父母的初始自我效能水平的影响,而不受父母压力的影响。
这些发现为中国自闭症儿童父母在线提供的HMTW计划的有效性提供了初步证据。需要涉及更大样本并关注长期影响的进一步研究。
