Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine retrospective and current parental perceptions of music therapy (MT) for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This study also investigated the differences between parents' retrospective and current perceptions, as well as the variables that predict current parental perceptions and changes in parental perceptions. Participants (N=50) were parents of children diagnosed with ASD under the age of seven years old, who had received or were receiving MT services. Participants completed an online survey, "Parental Perception of Music Therapy for Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders." Results revealed that parents' retrospective perceptions of MT were generally positive, with musical skills reported as the most anticipated change in children's functional skills. Parents' current perceptions of MT tended to be extremely positive, with musical skills also reported as the most observed change in children's functional skills. Results indicated a significant difference between parents' retrospective and current perceptions, with current perceptions of MT being more favorable. Several variables were examined as predictors of current parental perception, including demographics, therapeutic context, and observed changes in functional skills. Results indicated that observed changes in children's functional skills, specifically in musical, social, and motor skills, were significant predictors of current parental perception of MT. Demographics, therapeutic context, and observed changes in functional skills were also examined as predictors of change in parental perception; however, no significant results were found. A number of limitations existed for this study, including sample composition and the number of variables in the study. The homogenous sample may impact how well the results can generalize to the larger ASD population. Furthermore, the large number of variables explored in the survey may have reduced the power needed to detect true relationships between the predictor variables and parental perception. The findings of this study have clinical implications for music therapists that directly benefit parents and their children diagnosed with ASD. Music therapists need to be aware that many parents expect improvements in their child's musical skills and may not recognize the functional benefits of MT (e.g., improvements in language or attention). Therefore, music therapists should educate parents on the functional outcomes that can be anticipated during their children's treatment. Parents who recognize functional outcomes, outside of musical skills, may be more likely to continue MT sessions and be compliant with treatment recommendations. As parents benefit from the findings of this study, the ultimate beneficiary will be children diagnosed with ASD.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research study presented in this book is an attempt to describe and understand parents' experiences, perceptions and expectations of their interactions and relationships with occupational therapists who provide services to their children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Through a phenomenological qualitative research design, in-depth interviews with twelve families helped unfold their views about services, their satisfaction and suggestions. Parents identify difficulties in communication as counterproductive and obstructive in facilitating the parent-therapist relationship. When therapists demonstrate consistency, breadth of knowledge, collaborative spirit and respect for the child, the family and the family's sociocultural circumstances, interventions are viewed in a positive light. While navigating the health care system parents experience a transformation of their belief systems leading them to feel enabled, empowered, and in control. Occupational therapy is identified as an indispensable part of the children's intervention programs, while parents expect therapists to be: "direct, yet gentle and sensitive; and optimistic, yet realistic."

This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism spectrum disorder has received increasing research in recent years, with more information on assessment and treatment than can be readily assimilated from primary literature by clinicians. Clinical Assessment and Intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders summarizes evidence-based assessments and intervention for Autism across the life-span, providing clinicians with a practical overview of how best to assess and treat this disorder. The book begins with a discussion of what warrants a determination of being "evidence based" and a description of the disorder from a life span perspective. The book also provides a chapter on differential diagnosis of autism relative to other disorders. What follows are separate sections on assessment and intervention. These chapters discuss first how to assess and then separately how to treat behavioral problems, communication and social skills issues, academic and vocational skills, and the use of pharmacology and an assessment of possible pharmacological effects. Intended for practitioners assessing and treating children with developmental delays, the book provides clinicians with best practices for assessing and treating delays associated with autism. - Covers the full range of Autism Spectrum Disorders - Covers the lifespan - Focuses on evidence-based assessment and treatment

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevalence rates for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suggest rates continue to increase, with recent data indicating 1 in 68 children diagnosed with the disorder. Interventions may prove beneficial for both the core symptoms of the disorder and related deficits, although data indicate that effects are stronger with early intervention (e.g., prior to four years old). Unfortunately, many children are undiagnosed until they are school age. Additionally, a number of findings indicate that in comparison to Caucasian children, African American children receive an ASD diagnosis later and less often. The current study examined the role of race/ethnicity on 119 mothers' knowledge about autism spectrum disorder, interpretation of symptomology consistent with ASD (e.g., labeling the child, level of concern, helpful services), attitudes towards mental health services, and trust in providers. Participants were exposed to a vignette of a child displaying typical developmental behavior, mild ASD symptomology, or moderate-to-severe ASD symptomology. Participants indicated their perception of the child's behaviors either as indicative of normal development, a medical disorder, a developmental disorder, an intellectual disorder, or an emotional disorder. Participants then completed measures of ASD knowledge, help seeking attitudes, and provider stigma. In comparison to Caucasians, African Americans displayed less ASD knowledge, were less able to identify a child with ASD symptoms as having the disorder, and held more biases toward medical clinicians. Inconsistent with previous studies, racial/ethnic differences were not found for attitudes of mental health stigma and help seeking intentions. Implications of findings are discussed

This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Important Contribution to Understanding Autobiographical and Eyewitness Memory in Those with ASD and the Unique Legal Challenges They Present This book offers an in-depth discussion of how autobiographical and eyewitness memory operate in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and provides unique insights into current challenges faced by legal professionals, forensic psychologists, clinicians, and others who extend services to those with ASD. Throughout the book, authors demonstrate why a nuanced understanding of autobiographical and eyewitness memory is required when assessing individuals with ASD, given the developmental, social, and cognitive deficits at play. Authors review current legal services and structures, and explore ideas on whether and how modifications can be made to meet the needs of all individuals who seek and deserve justice, including individuals with ASD. The Wiley Handbook of Memory, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the Law is sure to spark debate within the mental health and legal communities, while advancing knowledge on the role of key clinical features of ASD in autobiographical and eyewitness memory. The book is distinct in its exploration of ways in which the legal system, with its formal yet inherently social infrastructure and regulated due process demands, should offer services to those with ASD. Of note, authors question if current policies and practices, such as reliance on interviewing protocols standardized for typically developing individuals, are adequate. The book is divided into three sections with the first providing a discussion of theoretical viewpoints on how memory functions in those with and without ASD, and providing a specialized consideration of developmental issues. A second section reviews empirical evidence, followed by a third and final section addressing legal and clinical considerations, including techniques for interviewing individuals with ASD. The first book offering an expert, science-based review of autobiographical and eyewitness memory research on those with ASD and the associated legal challenges Provides thought-provoking, informative, often debated observations on memory in ASD from an international team of experts Offers summaries of what is known about memory abilities in those with ASD as well as what is left unknown that future researchers will need to address and that legal professionals should consider. A book that does much to advance the research frontier in the study of memory in ASD and application to the legal system, The Wiley Handbook of Memory, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the Law is important reading for academic researchers, clinicians, judges, jurors, law enforcement officials, and public policy makers alike.

This book was released on 2006-08-03 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the topic of acculturation has evolved from a relatively minor research area to one of the most researched subjects in the field of cross-cultural psychology. This edited handbook compiles and systemizes the current state of the art by exploring the broad international scope of acculturation. A collection of the world's leading experts in the field review the various contexts for acculturation, the central theories, the groups and individuals undergoing acculturation (immigrants, refugees, indigenous people, expatriates, students and tourists) and discuss how current knowledge can be applied to make both the process and its outcome more manageable and profitable. Building on the theoretical and methodological framework of cross-cultural psychology, the authors focus specifically on the issues that arise when people from one culture move to another culture and the reciprocal adjustments, tensions and benefits involved.
