While externalizing behaviors are common among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there is a shortage of specialist community-based clinicians to provide treatment. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an intervention designed to reduce child disruptive behaviors, may be effective for families of children with ASD but has rarely been studied outside of university-based research settings. We examined the effectiveness of PCIT delivered for children with (N = 109) and without (N = 2,324) ASD/developmental delays (DD) across community-based agencies in Oregon. Findings revealed significant reductions in disruptive behavior and positive changes in the parent-child relationship in both groups. These findings support PCIT as an efficacious intervention for children with ASD/DD and demonstrate PCIT's promise in community-based agencies with non-specialized clinicians.
虽然自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童常见外化行为，但缺乏专门的社区临床医生来提供治疗。亲子互动疗法（PCIT）是一种旨在减少儿童破坏性行为的干预措施，可能对 ASD 儿童的家庭有效，但在大学研究环境之外很少研究。我们在俄勒冈州的社区机构中检查了针对（N=109）和不（N=2324）有 ASD/发育迟缓（DD）儿童的 PCIT 的有效性。研究结果显示，两组儿童的破坏性行为均显著减少，亲子关系也发生了积极变化。这些发现支持 PCIT 作为 ASD/DD 儿童的有效干预措施，并证明 PCIT 在非专业临床医生的社区机构中有很大的发展潜力。
