Abstract: Delivery of interventions in a group format is a potential solution to limited access to specialized services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We conducted an open feasibility trial of group-based RUBI parent training in 18 children (mean age 6.12 ± 1.95 years) with ASD and disruptive behaviors. Parents participated in one of five groups (3 to 4 parents per group). Eighty-three percent of participants completed the 24-week trial. Session attendance was moderate (74.2%). All parents indicated that they would recommend the treatment. Therapists demonstrated 98.8% fidelity to the manual. Eleven of 18 (64.7%) participants were rated as much/very much improved by an independent evaluator at Week 24. Preliminary efficacy findings justify further study.
