ABA Inside Track Episode 315 - Social Validity of Parent Training w/ Dr. Roseanne Lesack + Dr. Jillian Wilson
While we’ve been discussing how to move away from just getting parents to buy in to proposed behavioral treatments, there’s still a huge gap between what works, what parents are told could work, and what parents like (when everything works). So we decided to kick off our Special Guest Month by having two experts at parent training, Drs. Roseanne Lesack and Jillian Wilson, help us figure out how to effectively promote better social validity practices when collaborating with parents. We revisit the classic Allen and Warzak article on parental nonadherence and delve deeply into what treatment ideas parents prefer at almost any child’s age. Plus: the secret history of validating statements!
