Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) engage in challenging behaviors, which may interfere with their daily functioning, development, and well-being. To address this issue, we conducted a four-week randomized waitlist control trial to examine the effects of a fully self-guided interactive web training (IWT) on (a) child engagement in challenging behaviors and (b) parental intervention. After 4 weeks, parents in the treatment group reported lower levels of challenging behaviors in their children and more frequent use of behavioral interventions than those in the waitlist groups. Furthermore, within-group analyses suggest that these changes persisted up to 12 weeks following completion of the IWT. Our results highlight the potential utility of web training, but our high attrition rate and potential side effects prevent us from recommending the training as a standalone treatment.

交互式网络培训对支持父母减少自闭症儿童挑战性行为的影响

许多患有自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的儿童从事具有挑战性的行为，这可能会干扰他们的日常功能、发展和幸福。为了解决这个问题，我们进行了一项为期 4 周的随机候补名单对照试验，以检查完全自我引导的交互式网络培训 (IWT) 对 (a) 儿童参与具有挑战性的行为和 (b) 父母干预的影响。4 周后，治疗组的父母报告说，与等候名单组相比，他们孩子的挑战性行为水平较低，行为干预的使用频率更高。此外，组内分析表明，这些变化在 IWT 完成后持续长达 12 周。我们的结果突出了网络培训的潜在效用，
