Abstract	Social skills deficits are common for children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research indicates there is a need to continue to find ways to support parents in enhancing social skills acquisition in their children with ASD. The present study evaluated the effects of using behavioral skills training (BST), delivered via mobile technology, to teach four parents of children with ASD skills to then teach their children three specific social skills that were selected by each parent. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline design across parent-child dyads was used as well as direct observation via digital video recorded sessions to assess parent and child behaviors. Results demonstrated improvement in social skills teaching for Dyad's one, two, and four, and improved child performance of each selected social skill was observed as well for each of these dyads from baseline to post-training. This study extends current BST research while also providing a new underrepresented modality for delivery of training to parents for parent-mediated training for novel skills for their children.
