All mothers reached at least 80% fidelity
Child Challenging Behavior
Decreased for 2 of 6 dyads
Parent Satisfaction
High social validity reported
Key Findings
The culturally adapted PTR-F intervention led to increased BSP strategy use among all participating mothers.
All mothers achieved at least 80% fidelity in implementing the strategies post-intervention.
Two dyads showed a clear reduction in child challenging behavior linked to increased parent strategy use.
High levels of parent satisfaction with the intervention's goals and procedures were reported.
The telepractice model was well-accepted by participants, indicating feasibility for broader implementation.
