This study examined the impact of a training manual on the correct implementation of ABA teaching procedures by mothers of four children with Angelman syndrome, a neurogenetic disorder associated with severe cognitive, speech, and motor impairments. Parents were instructed to teach new functional skills to their children, prior to and after being given a copy of the manual. Data were collected on the following parent behaviours: setting up the teaching environment, promoting on-task behaviour, implementing discrete teaching trials, and prompting and reinforcing correct responses. Although the overall trend was for increased competency scores after exposure to the training manual, individual differences in parental response patterns were evident.
