Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a parent-mediated intervention combined with Positive Behavioral Support (PBS) in reducing challenging behaviors among children with autism and decreasing parenting stress in South Punjab, Pakistan. By equipping parents with PBS techniques, the intervention seeks to identify and manage behavioral triggers, thereby improving child behavior and reducing caregiver strain.

There is a growing need for culturally adapted intervention programs in local languages such as Urdu and Seraiki, tailored to the socio-cultural context of Pakistani families. This study addresses this gap by providing indigenous evidence on a dual-component intervention (Parent-Mediated Intervention + PBS) designed specifically for the family structure and caregiving practices in South Punjab.
