| Abstract: | We conducted a multiattribute utility (MAU) evaluation to assess the Parent-Implemented Communication Strategies (PiCS) project
which was funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). In the PiCS project parents of young children with developmental
disabilities are trained and coached in their homes on naturalistic and visual teaching strategies to enhance their children’s
social-pragmatic communication skills. This report focuses on the evaluation process, the application of the MAU approach
to evaluate the PiCS project, the results of the evaluation, and a discussion of the benefits and concerns related to the
use of the MAU approach to conduct a comprehensive evaluation. |
