Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) is currently the most investigated evidence-based intervention for children with ASD. Unfortunately, whether a family can receive PRT depends highly on where they live in the Netherlands and therapists that are trained in PRT are scarce which contributes to long waiting lists. The objective of this study is improving accesiblity to PRT by developing an blended module and assessing its efficacy. The design of the first phase of the study (development) will is an exploratory interpretive study and the design of the second phase (efficacy testing) will be involve a one-group pre-test post-test design with follow-up. In phase I, the main study parameters will be the experiences of the current PRT intervention of therapists, parents and teachers, thereby looking at the different possibilities for increasing the accessibility when creating a blended PRT module. In phase II, the main outcome parameter will be the parent-reported Social Responsiveness Scale total score. The content of the protocol that will be studied in phase II is based on the outcomes in phase I.
