Article summary (posted Aug 6, 2009):

The parenting program "Stepping Stones Triple P" may teach helpful strategies to parents of children with autism.

Parents of 29 children (2-9 years old) with autism received training using the Stepping Stones Triple P program. Parents learned how to deal with behavioral issues for children with autism. Strategies included timeout, physical guidance, and blocking. Many of the parents also learned how to use Comic Strip Conversations and Social Stories. Most of the parents liked the parent training, and said the strategies they learned were helpful when dealing with their children with autism.
