Abstract
Behavior management parent training has been found to be effective in reducing child problem behavior in a variety of populations. However, little of this research has focused on its effectiveness for families of children under the age of 3 years or children with developmental delays. The purpose this study is to attend to this gap by assessing the efficacy of a group BMPT program for families with children, ages 18-36 months. The results were generally consistent with previous research on BMPT for typically developing children with significant differences between the treatment and control group at the post-intervention time point on parent reported measures of aggressive behavior, emotional reactivity, and parenting stress. Qualitative observations regarding fidelity to a behavioral program by professionals from disciplines other than psychology with little or no formal training in behavioral interventions are also discussed.
