Abstract EN
Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) is an effective treatment for children with autism.
However, it is known that some parents struggle to fully implement the program, and providers are not always able to identify the specifics of each family’s individualized challenges.
The purpose of this pilot study was to begin the process of developing a new instrument, the EIBI Parental Self-Efficacy (EPSE) Scale, to help providers better assess and assist parents in regard to EIBI implementation.
The methodology included four phases: scale construction, expert review, pretest administration, and a large sample pilot study (N = 192).
The final 29-item EPSE Scale contained strong reliability properties (Cronbach’s alpha = .900).
Factor analysis established five subscales: Family Well-Being, Preparing for Successful Sessions, Team Participation, Not Giving Up, and Working with your Child.
Following this pilot study, future research is recommended to refine and validate the EPSE Scale as a useful clinical tool for EIBI providers.
