Abstract
Aim: The high prevalence of behaviour and emotional problems in children with developmental disabilities (DD) has been well established. This project aimed to decrease the rate of behaviour and emotional problems in children with DD.
Method: The Stepping Stones Triple P parenting programme was made available to the parents of children with DD aged 2 to 12 years, across Queensland and Victoria. Parents completed a range of measures at pre intervention (baseline), post intervention, and at follow-up, assessing child behaviour and emotional problems, parenting style and sense of competence, family functioning, and psychosocial well-being.
Results: More than 1,000 families have participated in the study to date. Data will be reported on the primary outcome of child behaviour and emotional problems, and the association between outcomes and key variables will be explored.
Conclusions: The implications of the results in relation to the provision of family-focussed interventions at a population level will be discussed.
