Abstract

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) must be systematized and intensive, with guidance for parents. This study aimed to describe and evaluate the effects of a parenting program, based on ABA, on the verbal development of children with ASD. Using an experimental design, the sample included 12 mothers, five fathers, and their children with ASD, aged one to four years, divided into an experimental group (EG) and control group (CG). The children’s verbal repertoire was assessed using the VB-MAPP before and after the parents participated in the 12-week program. The results showed that, after the intervention with parents, the EG exhibited a significantly greater increase in verbal behaviors (31 %) compared to the CG (6 %) in intragroup comparisons. No differences were observed between the groups in the post-test. The interventions with parents positively influenced the verbal repertoire of children with ASD, indicating the need for studies with larger samples.
