This study evaluated the effects of a training program designed to teach parents skills for facilitating the academic performance of their children. Specifically, the parents were taught to use f(a) modeling (physical and verbal), (b) positive feedback; (c) corrective feedback, and (d) verbal reinforcement to teach their children letter-printing skills. A multiple base-line design across parents and children was employed. Training was conducted and data were collected in the pediatric clinic and home via direct observation of behavior and performance. Results suggested that child printing performance increased substantially when the parents were trained in the four component skills. Generalization of parent skills occurred across settings and target skills, and was maintained on follow-up measures taken at 2- and 4-week intervals.
