Evaluation of the Impact and Social Validity of a Group Training Program for Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is known to impact both the child diagnosed and their entire family.Parent-mediated intervention programs (PMI) have become increasingly popular to respond to the important needs experienced by these families.One of these programs, The ABCs of behavior in children with ASD: parents in action!was specifically developed for parents with children with ASD under the age of 8, leaving parent with older children without adapted support for their needs.A new adapted version of this program was developed for children aged 6 to 12 (V6-12).This study aims to assess the social validity and effect on parents of this new version.A mixed-methods approach using standardised questionnaires, home made questionnaires and semi-structured interviewed on a sample of 21 participating parents allowed to demonstrate significant improvement on self-reported parental competence, knowledge regarding ASD and parent-child relationship.Results also demonstrate high social validity and satisfaction of parent toward the program.This study contributes to the growing literature supporting the value of parent training.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
