부모-아동 상호작용치료가 발달지연 아동의 문제행동과 적응행동에 미치는 효과

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of parent-child interaction therapy on problem behaviors and adaptive behaviors in children with developmental delay.
 Methods For this study, parent-child interaction therapy was conducted for a total of 3 pairs of children with developmental delays and their parents at the Child Development Counseling Center located in Gyeonggi-do. For parent-child interaction therapy, a program jointly developed by Sheila Eyberg & Beberly Funderbu (2011) was applied. After that, the child behavior evaluation scale (CBCL) and the adaptive behavior test tool for children (NISE-K⋅ABS) were used to measure the change in problem behavior and adaptive behavior of pre- and post-treatment children.
 Results After parent-child interaction therapy, child behavior problems were significantly reduced and adaptive behaviors were significantly increased. There were clear positive changes in interpersonal relationships and other-person recognition areas, which are subordinate areas of adaptive behaviors.
 Conclusions This study is significant in that it empirically validates that parent-child interaction therapy is effective in reducing problem behaviors and improving adaptive behaviors in children with developmental delay.
