Following parent education and coaching, all six mothers demonstrated immediate and sustained increases in BSP implementation fidelity, reaching at least 80% fidelity. A clear functional relation was demonstrated between increased parent strategy use and decreased child challenging behavior for two of the six Dyads and weaker but present participant level effects for Dyads 1,2,3, and 4 due to decreasing baseline trends in challenging behavior and lack of clinically significant decreased challenging behavior for Dyad 4. Social validity findings indicated high parent satisfaction with the intervention goals, procedures, and outcomes, as well as strong acceptability of the telepractice delivery model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings have implications for the development and delivery of culturally adapted, family centered telepractice intervention to reduce children\u2019s challenging behavior and expand equitable access to evidence-based autism services for underserved populations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2026.1783825","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]],"date-time":"2026-04-21T13:31:13Z","timestamp":1776778273000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Remote delivery of culturally adapted prevent-teach-reinforce for families with Chinese American families of young autistic children"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jinlan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences, University of Oregon","place":["Eugene, OR, United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wendy","family":"Machalicek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Education and Clinical Sciences, University of Oregon","place":["Eugene, OR, United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders, University of Nebraska Omaha","place":["Omaha, NE, United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"604","DOI":"10.1186\/s12913-022-07932-4","article-title":"Contributing factors to healthcare costs in individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review","volume":"22","author":"Matin","year":"2022","journal-title":"BMC Health Serv Res"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/21582440241235033","article-title":"Parental stress related to caring for a child With Autism Spectrum Disorder and the benefit of mindfulness-based interventions for parental stress: A systematic review","volume":"14","author":"Yesilkaya","year":"2024","journal-title":"SAGE Open"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/ipm.2020.4","article-title":"Families under pressure: Stress and quality of life in parents of children with an intellectual disability","volume":"40","author":"Staunton","year":"2023","journal-title":"Irish.
