Abstract

<p>In Japan, even though parent training is gaining attention and is recommended by the central government as support for families of children with disabilities, only 20％ of local governments are implementing it. The present study examined effects of a short version of a parent training program that was provided by elementary school teachers. Teachers (N＝11) from 7 schools participated in 10.5 hours of training. They then provided a 4.5-hour (1.5 hours a day for 3 days) parent training program to parents who agreed to participate. The participating parents (N＝43) included parents of children in special needs classes and in regular classes. Data were collected from 19 of those parents. No change was found in the teachers' support for the parents, but an increase was observed in the scores on the self-efficacy of class management, including an item about the extent to which the teachers could approach students' families so that they could support their children's increased participation in school. The parents' depression scores and the children's behavior scores decreased significantly; this suggests that the teachers were capable of providing effective parent training when they were given adequate training. On the Child Behavioral Checklist (CBCL), 10 of the 19 children were in the clinical range before the parent training, and, after the training, the scores of the 4 children who had been in the clinical range were no longer in that range. These results suggest that parent training in elementary schools can function as a sustainable community-based parent-training model. Limitations of the study include that insufficient data were collected, a control group should have been included, and follow-up data should have been collected to examine the duration of the effects.</p>
