The Supporting Extended Family Members (SEFAM) Father's Program provided fathers with both a regular source of information about their child and access to professional and peer support. The program was evaluated by monitoring changes both of fathers who participated in the program and their wives in the following domains: stress, depression, and support systems. Research measures are described which were designed to assess changes in these targeted domains. Preliminary results indicated that parents who participated in the pilot program reported lower levels of stress and depression and higher levels of satisfaction with social support than parents who were newly enrolled in the program. The findings are discussed in light of possible mediating factors for the observed results. Recommendations are made for improving the quality of data on the effects of early interventions on family members.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100080,"journal":{"name":"Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities","volume":"5 1","pages":"Pages 151-163"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0270-4684(85)80011-2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75076864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulation plus in vivo training included training with slides of grocery store aisles and shelves in the classroom plus training in a single store located near the students' school. Generalized responding was assessed through a multiple-baseline design across subjects in three novel grocery stores and validated in a store frequented by the students' families. Results indicate that generalization was more likely when the range of stimulus variation in training examples was expanded via in-class simulations.

Because of the scarcity of data and methodological problems with efficacy studies with handicapped children, much of the paper focuses on conclusions drawn from research with disadvantaged and at-risk populations and the implications of those data for handicapped children. It is concluded that early intervention has substantial immediate benefits for at-risk and disadvantaged children. What few data are available about the effects of parental involvement, age at which intervention starts, training of the intervenor, and maintenance of effects are often contrary to what many people have assumed. Methodological suggestions to improve future early intervention research are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100080,"journal":{"name":"Analysis and Intervention in Developmental Disabilities","volume":"5 1","pages":"Pages 7-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0270-4684(85)80003-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73958374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
