Parent Levels of Confidence Before and After Positive Parenting Workshop
Track: Family Perspective, Engagement and Support
Authors: Zoey Walker, Lori Day
Affiliations: Gallaudet University, Washington, DC
Presenter: Zoey Walker
Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidenced-based intervention used with parents of children between the ages of 2 and 7 who exhibit behavior concerns including impulsivity, hyperactivity, oppositional behavior, and difficulty following instructions. This therapy works with parents and caregivers to develop positive parenting strategies, healthy parent-child relationships, and to improve overall compliance from the child. Researchers at Gallaudet University have adapted PCIT to be used with Deaf persons (hearing parents-deaf children, deaf parents-hearing children, deaf parents-deaf children). A workshop for parents and caregivers of young deaf children aimed at providing community outreach through teaching foundational PCIT principles was provided. Through the use of pre and post surveys, the effectiveness of sharing PCIT positive parenting strategies with parents and caregivers was evaluated based on their self-reported feelings of confidence in a variety of parenting skills. Difference in parent confidence levels in their parenting strategies before and after they have completed the positive parenting workshop is discussed.
