The results from parents who participated in PCIT therapy with their children also represented a 44.4% improvement in these externalizing (or disruptive) behaviors overall, when compared to the group not participating in the PCIT program.Children with a severe ASD seemed to make the greatest gains during the Child-Directed Interaction portion of the treatment (which focuses on play), while the behavior of children with milder forms of the disorder improved during both this phase and the Parent-Directed portion (which focuses on behavior management).The study was presented during the International Meeting for Autism Research May 17-19 in Toronto, Canada.
Another study that demonstrates the broad application of Parent Child Interaction Therapy. -gw
