Objectives: The purpose of this meta-analysis study was to systematically investigate the extant literature on parent training and to evaluate its effectiveness on children¡¯s language and communication skills, and to identify the difference of effect sizes between tele-therapy and in person therapy.
Methods: Seven electronic databases, RISS, DBpia, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, ERIC, PsyINFO, and PudMed were searched through to July 2022 for analysis. Using Meta-Analysis (CMA3: comprehensive meta-analysis version 3, 2022), a systematic literature review approach was taken to analyze 21 studies which met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of our research. Effect sizes for children¡¯s language and communicative skills were analyzed via the random effect model.
Results: There were three main findings. First, parent training programs had a small effect size on language ability in children with ASD. Second, tele-therapy had higher effect size than inperson therapy. Lastly, two intervention models, Pivotal Response Treatment and ABA, showed large treatment effects.
Conclusion: The results from the present study suggest that parent training programs are helpful for children with ASD in increasing language ability. Tele-therapy showed more efficacy than the in-person therapy. These findings support the efficacy of tele-therapy compared with in-person therapy. Therefore, this study provides preliminary evidence for the use of a digital therapeutics.
