Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop, implement, evaluate a strength-based parent training program for positive behavior support for families. A total of nine parents of children with developmental disabilities aged between six and 12 participated in this study. The program consists of 10 sessions and incorporates the procedures of Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Families(PTR-F), along with practical exercises in positive psychotherapy and techniques from solution-focused counseling as components. By reviewing the delivery methods of evidence-based parent training programs for children with developmental disabilities developed in foreign countries, the program integrates both collective instructional sessions and personalized guidance; it also facilitates parental implementation via online coaching. To evaluate the impact of the program on parental efficacy in behavior support, the subjective well-being of parents, the positive perceptions of parenting children with disabilities of parents, as well as the adaptive behavior of children with developmental disabilities, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were utilized to measure changes from pre- to post-test for each dependent variable. The results of this study revealed statistically significant differences in all dependent variables both before and after implementing the program. Along with the discussion of the research results, significance and limitations of the study, as well as suggestions for future studies were presented.
