young children with developmental disabilities exhibiting challenging behaviors.
However, not all caregivers respond to group parent training. The purpose of this paper is
to describe a study examining the use of contextualized coaching with a group parent
training with two high risk families. Maternal caregivers from both families participated
in a group based parent training using a modified version of the Incredible Years
curriculum provided by the local early intervention agency. A multiple baseline across
behaviors research design was used to examine the relation between contextualized
coaching and positive parenting practices. Contextualized coaching consisted of
individualized, performance-based feedback, live modeling, and material support. Results
indicate contextualized coaching was functionally related to increases in positive care-giving practices. Results are discussed in terms of applications for practice and future
research in parent training. / Committee in Charge:
