Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Within these meetings parents will be given the skills to understand their child's behavior and work to modify those that are clinically disruptive to the child and their environment.
Groups will be facilitated by student therapists under direct weekly supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Data will be collected before, after, and throughout the intervention, primarily by parent-report with one teacher-report measure and two (pre/post) filmed parent-child interactions.
The primary desired outcome is a measurable decrease in the child's disruptive behaviors and an increase in their adaptive behaviors. Although the intervention specifically targets disruptive behavior, we expect to see consequent improvement in a number of linked domains. These represent desired secondary outcomes.
First, as a result of receiving concrete skills and seeing improvement in their child's behavior, as well as due to participation in the group with other families, a reduction in parental stress and an increase in their perceived self-efficacy should occur, as well as a reduction in the stress of the non-participating parent.
Second, after the reduction in disruptive behaviors there should be an improvement in autism symptomatology. Improvements in behavior will allow the child to benefit more from their environments, leading to social and developmental gains.
In the context of the current study, the impact of the intervention on family accommodation is also assessed, hypothesizing that by learning how to analyse and modify behaviors, parents are gaining a broader insight into the impact their own behaviors have on that of their children.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Parent mediated intervention (PMI) group
A short term parent training protocol based on behavioral principles, which is delivered by trained therapists. The protocol includes eleven core sessions, a home visit session, follow-up telephone booster sessions and seven supplemental sessions, designed to be delivered to parents in an outpatient and home settings. The protocol is administered to groups of 4 families.

The intervention is a short term parent training program based on behavioral principles, which can be delivered by trained therapist. The manual includes eleven core sessions, home visit session, follow-up telephone booster sessions and seven supplemental sessions, designed to be delivered individually to parents in an outpatient setting.
The protocol will be administered to groups of 3-4 parents, with a quantitative pretest-post test design evaluated at five time points, including a follow up at one month post intervention. The protocol will be administered in various community and educational locations, such as schools and community centers
Waitlist control
Families will be recruited and will fill out measure for 3 months prior to participation and will then join the active intervention
