Parent management training and Asperger syndrome : a randomized controlled trial to evaluate a parent based intervention . This controlled trial of a parent management intervention aimed to increase parental competence in management of problem behaviours associated with Asperger syndrome . The intervention compared two formats , a 1 day workshop and six individual sessions . Measures were taken on three occasions : pre-intervention , at 4 weeks , and at 3 month follow-up . Variables of interest were number and intensity of problem behaviours , and parent evaluation of social interaction skills . Results showed parents reporting fewer and lower intensity of problem behaviours and increased social interactions at 4 weeks and 3 months . Results held across formats and suggest that parent management training can provide an effective intervention for parents of a child with Asperger syndrome . Group differences on outcome measures and in the use of strategies are discussed along with limitations of the study .
