Adaptation and Pilot Testing of a Behavioral Parent Training Program for Parents of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children

Despite being more likely than typical hearing children to experience disruptive behavior problems, children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) rarely receive behavioral interventions to prevent the long-term costly outcomes of behavior problems. This pilot project will systematically adapt an evidence-based behavioral parent training (BPT) intervention to increase its acceptability and relevance for parents of young DHH children. Two parents of DHH children will be trained in the adapted BPT for DHH children. They will each deliver the intervention to five families with DHH preschool-aged children.
