Supporting Parents to Address Challenging Behavior at Home

A new research study evaluating the use of videoconferencing (i.e. computer, web

camera, Internet) to support and teach parents of children with developmental

disabilities behavioral strategies to reduce challenging behavior is now

recruiting participants.

•Is your child between the ages of 3 and 9 years of age and have a diagnosis

of a developmental disability (e.g. autism, Down syndrome, intellectual

disability)?

•Does your child engage in challenging behaviors such as aggression, tantrums,

" stimming " , or self-injurious behaviors (e.g. hand biting) that disrupt everyday

family routines?

•Would you like to receive " in real time " support via videoconferencing from a

behavior specialist to learn a variety of strategies that may decrease your

child's challenging behavior and teach appropriate communication?

You may qualify for participation in a study that seeks to evaluate the effects

of technology to support parents in their own home to address their child's

challenging behavior and teach appropriate communication.
