This study examined the effects of training 3 individuals to teach parents of preschool children with disabilities to implement milieu language teaching. In a multiple baseline design across trainers and families, 4 key strategies for effective parent training were taught. The systematic apprenticeship-type training increased the frequency and correctness with which the trainers used the parent-training strategies. Trainer generalization was evaluated with 3 additional families in a second multiple baseline. All trainers generalized the parent-training skills to a 2nd family. When parent-training was implemented effectively by the trainers, all 6 parents acquired the targeted milieu language teaching skills and generalized their use to home. All 6 children increased their use of target language skills in training sessions and showed modest changes in communication at home.
