Parents ' Adoption of Social Communication Intervention Strategies : Families Including Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Who are Minimally Verbal . Notably absent from the intervention literature are parent training programs targeting school-aged children with autism who have limited communication skills ( Tager-Flusberg and Kasari in Autism Res 6:468-478 , 2013 ) . Sixty-one children with autism age 5-8 with minimal spontaneous communication received a 6-month social communication intervention including parent training . Parent-child play interactions were coded for parents ' strategy implementation and children 's time jointly engaged ( Adamson et al . in J Autism Dev Disord 39:84-96 , 2009 ) . Parents mastered an average of 70 % of the strategies . Further analyses indicated some gains in implementation occurred from mere observation of sessions , while the greatest gains occurred in the first month of active coaching and workshops . Children 's joint engagement was associated with parents ' implementation success across time demonstrating parents ' implementation was relevant to children 's social engagement .
