Abstract

Parents play a vital role in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parents can assist in the early identification of warning signs that can potentially lead to hastier access to services, and they can also act as agents of change during the intervention process. Parent training programs as well as individualized parent-mediated interventions are well established in the research and demonstrate how highly capable and effective parents can deliver treatment strategies with a strong degree of fidelity for an extensive range of challenging behaviors and adaptive skill sets. In addition, advances in technology, diverse modes of treatment delivery, and the more recent demand for remote services are leading toward further studies establishing the numerous benefits in support of telehealth with parents taking the lead in providing the interventions. The importance, advantages, and challenges of continuing to involve, train, and work with parents of high-risk children or those diagnosed with ASD are examined in this chapter.
