Summary

Parental Insightfulness (PI), promotes the development of the child's socio-emotional competence and her ability to have productive and sustaining relationships. PI is even more central in the case of young children with ASD, who struggle to socially communicate their needs and their mental and emotional states. PI's effects on the child's peer-interaction have not been tested and Since parents play a central role in intervention programs for their children with ASD, examining modifiable parent factors as mediators and moderators of treatment effectiveness could contribute to this line of research. The proposed study aims to test how pre intervention PI and intervention-related changes in PI affect parents' ability to support their children in the acquisition of peer-interaction skills. Using the PEERS for Preschoolers (P4P) program, the study will examine the effect of PI and parental involvement in a social skills intervention on children's acquisition and maintenance of social skills.
