Abstract

This study examines one type of parent training—Video Modeling (VM)—and how intense the training needs to be for a parent to learn this intervention effectively. The researchers observed three types of training: self-training, didactic training through a pre-recorded lesson, and one-on-one training. A repeated acquisition single case design across participants was used along with a control group. The participants included nine parents from the surrounding areas of Brigham Young University who were randomly selected for either the intervention group or the control group. Four of the five participants in the intervention or treatment group achieved mastery once they received didactic training. One participant in the intervention group required one-on-one feedback before achieving mastery. These results support previous studies’ findings: parents can successfully create video models and implement the interventions with high fidelity; and the training necessary can be minimal in comparison to other types of parent training. This suggests that didactic training may be an alternative to the often-costly expense of professional training given to parents. Recommendations for future research are also included in this paper.
