The Effective Parenting Program (EPP): An Integrated Stress Reduction and Parenting Intervention for Families of Children with Developmental Disabilities - Project Summary ! Parents who have children with developmental disabilities (DD) commonly experience high levels of stress related to child behavior problems and contextual issues related to the child's disability that can have a detrimental effect on their parenting. Current stress management programs for this population of parents often do not lead to a reduction in children's behavior problems and Behavioral Parent Training programs (BPT) do not always lead to a reduction in stress. Interventions that combine the two approaches are more effective, providing substantial benefits to both parent and child. The central goal of this project is to create an online, interactive stress reduction and BPT program: The Effective Parenting Program (EPP): An Integrated Parenting Intervention for Families of Children with Developmental Disabilities. We propose three Specific Aims with the primary aims of reducing parents' stress and strengthening parents' parenting efficacy and psychological flexibility. Our secondary aims are designed to answer questions regarding (a) the influence of changes in parents' efficacy and psychological flexibility on child behavior and (b) the role of parents' attention to and awareness of present moment experiences. This work is significant because it will provide resources for an underserved population - parents of children with DD -- who experience frequent stress with the challenges of raising a child with DD and who may lack basic behavioral parenting skills. Moreover, the proposed program has the potential to broadly impact the way supports are delivered to parents of children with DD by adding an integrated, efficacious intervention that overcomes common barriers to parental participation (time, finances, and availability). From a public health perspective, this approach is ideally structured to meet the needs of this population of parents who are in need of easy to implement and cost effective support and training. Upon completion in Phase II, parents will have access to a complete EPP program, designed to help them cope with stress more effectively and strengthen their behavioral parenting skills. The program will provide parents with engaging, interactive content, including: tools for monitoring progress, text prompts and incentives to motivate behavior change, a mechanism for the sharing of social support, guidance in setting effective value-based goals, strategies for reducing stress, and training in evidence-based parenting skills. The EPP program will be available on a mobile website that can be accessed by smart phones, tablets and computers and will provide realistic situational videos vignettes, workbook exercises and a discussion forum to help parents deal effectively with stress and challenging behaviors. In Phase I of this project, we will determine the feasibility of the program by examining primary and secondary outcomes related to a prototype of the EEP program. !
