Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this 24 week study is to determine whether a new Parent Training program is effective in reducing disruptive behaviors in young children with pervasive developmental disorders.


Clinical Trial Description

Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs) are a group of conditions that includes Autistic Disorder, Asperger's disorder and so called Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified. Children with PDD show delays in speech and language and reduced social interaction. Some children with PDD also have behavior problems, including defiance of rules, aggression, and tantrums. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new Parent Training program designed to decrease these behavior problems and improve daily living skills.

Following confirmation of eligibility, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Parent Training or a Psychoeducational Program. The Parent Training program involves specific suggestions about how to deal with behavior problems. The Psychoeducational program covers specific issues related to autism and parenting, including an co-occurring medical conditions and treatment options.

Parents will attend up to 13 one-on-one sessions with a trained therapist over a 24-week period. Participation in the study also involves 2 home visits and 6 monthly assessment visits. The purpose of the assessment visits is to evaluate the child's response to treatment. Evaluations will also be conducted at 3 and 6 months after completion of the study. ;
