Title: Transforming Parent-Child Interaction in Family Routines

This was a 7-year behavioural family intervention project that was funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) of the U. S. National Institutes of Health (NIH; 2003 to 2009). The purpose of the project was to examine the internal, external, and social validity of an ecological, family-centred positive behaviour support approach with families of children with developmental disabilities and severe problem behaviour.

The specific aims of the study were to:

• (a) empower families to transform problematic parent-child interactions into constructive interactions in the context of valued family routines in the home and community;
• (b) use experimental single case research methods to document a functional relation between implementation of the approach and improvements in child behaviour, parent-child interaction, and routine participation;
• (c) use sequential analysis methods and multivariate group design methods to document the transformation of problematic patterns of interaction into constructive patterns of interaction;
• (d) use multivariate group design methods to evaluate improvement in parenting stress and family quality of life; and
• (e) assess the social validity of the ecological, family-centered PBS approach from the perspective of participating parents.
