Abstract in brief

The study examined how effective parents are at using the Preschool Life Skills (PLS) program at home, aiming to improve preschool skills and reduce problem behaviors in both typically developing children and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
In Experiment 1, six parents successfully used the PLS program with their 3-5-year-old children, leading to improvements in life skills, fewer problem behaviors, and some skills carrying over from home to preschool.
Experiment 2 involved seven parents working with children with ASD aged nearly 4 to nearly 7, showing that parent-led PLS implementation can be effective but may require adjustments to better support children with ASD.]
