  • Descrição: Objectives: A growing literature indicates that caregiver-mediated social skills interventions increase social competence among children with autism; however, very little is known about the role of parent characteristics in treatment success. As an initial step toward closing this gap, we examined the following: 1) the feasibility of collecting measures of caregivers and children enrolled in these interventions in a clinic setting; and 2) the relationships between baseline measures of caregivers and their children. Methods: We enrolled 19 children with autism (15 males; mean age = 11 ± 3 years) and 19 caregivers (one per child; 15 females; mean age = 48 ± 8 years) in either the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) or the Children's Friendship Training. The Social Responsiveness Scale, 2nd Edition parent report (SRS-2-P) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) parent report were used to index children's autism severity and their internalizing and externalizing symptoms of psychopathology. Parent autistic traits were assessed using the SRS-2 adult form (SRS-2-A), which were completed by their spouses. Parent-rated Positive Affect Index (PAI) assessed the quality of the parent-child relationship. We measured the relationship between child and caregiver characteristics using two-tailed bivariate correlations. Results: Relationship quality, as measured by the PAI, varied across families (mean age = 47 ± 8 years). High relationship quality was correlated negatively with scores of the CBCL Externalizing Problems Scale (r = -0.69, P = 0.004) and several subscales that load onto this scale (e.g., aggressive behavior, r = -0.73, P = 0.002). The SRS-2-P scores indicated that children have clinically significant scores, whereas the SRS-2-A scores indicate their caregivers do not. There was no significant relationship between SRS-2-P and SRS-2-A scores (r = -0.03, P = 0.94) or PAI and SRS-2-P scores (r = -0.30, P = 0.40). Conclusions: Results indicate that it is feasible to collect caregiver and child data in the context of a clinic-based, caregiver-mediated intervention. Preliminary data underscore the relationship between caregiver-child relationship quality and externalizing behavioral challenges in children with autism. This relationship should be investigated as a potential mediator of treatment effects.
