Abstract

Although there are many positive outcomes associated with involving parents of students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in behavioral interventions, there is a dearth of literature as to the established expectations for doing so. Additionally, it logically follows that we need to ensure professionals are prepared to implement parent training. Thus, an examination of the parent-requested supports and obstacles to parent involvement is warranted. This study used purposive sampling of behavior professionals to investigate organizational expectations for the implementation of behavioral parent training techniques as well as the training and beliefs that behavior professionals hold regarding involving parents in behavioral interventions.
