Book Synopsis Quality of Life in Families of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder by : Emily Claire Gardiner
Download or read book Quality of Life in Families of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Emily Claire Gardiner and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having a family member with a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) has significant implications for family functioning. Overall, research findings demonstrate that families of children with NDDs are less satisfied with their quality of life (QOL), across domains, than families of typically developing children, and that families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are even less so. Although families of children with ASD are significantly at-risk, most research has included families of children with varied conditions, and has not examined predictors of family quality of life (FQOL) within specific NDD populations. This research gap, along with rising ASD awareness and prevalence, provides a strong rationale for devoting attention to this group specifically, and addressing the limitations that exist within this work. This research utilized a mixed-methods design to examine QOL among 84 families of children and adolescents (aged 6-18 years) with ASD living in British Columbia, and addressed three aims. First, the role of child characteristics, including adaptive functioning and behaviour problems, was examined in relation to FQOL. Adaptive functioning, and specifically daily living skills, emerged as a significant predictor of FQOL satisfaction, after accounting for behavioural and demographic characteristics, including child age, gender, perceived disability severity, and behavioural problems, as well as family income. Furthermore, there were significant differences across each domain of FQOL when groups were separated by daily living skill functioning level ('low,' 'moderately low,' and 'adequate'). Second, the relation between endorsed family resilience processes, based on Walsh's (2006, 2012) model, and FQOL satisfaction was examined. This revealed that greater endorsement of the 'family connectedness' and 'family communication and problem solving' processes significantly predicted FQOL when child and family demographic characteristics were accounted for. Finally, a subset (n = 15) of caregivers, representing both high and low levels of FQOL satisfaction, participated in a qualitative interview, during which they shared their perceptions of FQOL, both generally and in relation to specific topics, elaborated on service delivery experiences, and reflected on sources of family resilience. The findings are discussed in light of previous research, and the associated practice implications, as well as opportunities for future research, are highlighted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To access the video vignettes, please visit oup.com/RUBI Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) begins in early childhood and is characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, restricted interests and repetitive behavior. As many as half of children with ASD between the ages of 3 and 8 also exhibit disruptive behaviors that interfere with their overall development and family functioning. This Therapist Guide, Parent Training for Disruptive Behavior, is designed for therapists to use with parents of children with ASD and challenging behaviors, such as tantrums, noncompliance, and aggression. Based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis and developed over more than a decade of research, the intervention consists of 11 core sessions as well as supplemental sessions, a home visit, and follow-up visits. Each session includes a therapist script, activity sheets, parent handouts, and checklists. Video vignettes are available online to illustrate concepts. The treatment manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the companion Workbook for parents. Each session is delivered individually in weekly outpatient visits. Homework assignments between sessions focus on implementing behavior change strategies collaboratively chosen by the therapist and parent.
Book Synopsis Resources and Quality of Life in Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder by : Tiana C Cypher
Download or read book Resources and Quality of Life in Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Tiana C Cypher and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Participants were 23 caregivers of children between the ages of four to twenty-two years old who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and attend the Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) Social Recreation program in Winterville, Wilmington, and Newport. The present study evaluated the quality of life in parents of children with autism spectrum disorder, as well as the utilization and availability of resources for their child and the family. Data was collected using an online Qualtrics survey sent out to families by email. The survey consisted of questions regarding demographics, questions from the Questionnaire for Each Treatment regarding the treatments their child with autism receives, and questions from the Family Quality of Life Scale by the Beach Center on Disability. Overall results revealed that parenting is the most satisfying domain of quality of life, and disability related support was the least satisfactory for the parents. Results suggest that families with disability need to identify and enroll their children in early intervention programs and recreation program that help with children's development. The government and school programs should also strive to offer educative sessions for parents and families with children with autism to enhance their contribution outside of school hours.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Life Course Health Development by : Neal Halfon
Download or read book Handbook of Life Course Health Development written by Neal Halfon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This handbook synthesizes and analyzes the growing knowledge base on life course health development (LCHD) from the prenatal period through emerging adulthood, with implications for clinical practice and public health. It presents LCHD as an innovative field with a sound theoretical framework for understanding wellness and disease from a lifespan perspective, replacing previous medical, biopsychosocial, and early genomic models of health. Interdisciplinary chapters discuss major health concerns (diabetes, obesity), important less-studied conditions (hearing, kidney health), and large-scale issues (nutrition, adversity) from a lifespan viewpoint. In addition, chapters address methodological approaches and challenges by analyzing existing measures, studies, and surveys. The book concludes with the editors’ research agenda that proposes priorities for future LCHD research and its application to health care practice and health policy. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The prenatal period and its effect on child obesity and metabolic outcomes. Pregnancy complications and their effect on women’s cardiovascular health. A multi-level approach for obesity prevention in children. Application of the LCHD framework to autism spectrum disorder. Socioeconomic disadvantage and its influence on health development across the lifespan. The importance of nutrition to optimal health development across the lifespan. The Handbook of Life Course Health Development is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology/science; maternal and child health; social work; health economics; educational policy and politics; and medical law as well as many interrelated subdisciplines in psychology, medicine, public health, mental health, education, social welfare, economics, sociology, and law.
Book Synopsis The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (And Their Parents) by : Elizabeth Verdick
Download or read book The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (And Their Parents) written by Elizabeth Verdick and published by Free Spirit Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This positive, straightforward book offers kids with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) their own comprehensive resource for both understanding their condition and finding tools to cope with the challenges they face every day. Some children with ASDs are gifted; others struggle academically. Some are more introverted, while others try to be social. Some get "stuck" on things, have limited interests, or experience repeated motor movements like flapping or pacing ("stims"). The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders covers all of these areas, with an emphasis on helping children gain new self-understanding and self-acceptance. Meant to be read with a parent, the book addresses questions ("What’s an ASD?" "Why me?") and provides strategies for communicating, making and keeping friends, and succeeding in school. Body and brain basics highlight symptom management, exercise, diet, hygiene, relaxation, sleep, and toileting. Emphasis is placed on helping kids handle intense emotions and behaviors and get support from family and their team of helpers when needed. The book includes stories from real kids, fact boxes, helpful checklists, resources, and a glossary. Sections for parents offer more detailed information.
Book Synopsis Researching Quality of Life Among Families of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder by : Gardiner
Download or read book Researching Quality of Life Among Families of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Gardiner and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research methods case describes my dissertation research, which utilized a mixed-methods design to examine quality of life among families of children with autism spectrum disorder. A large group or participants completed surveys over the phone and online, and a smaller subset participated in follow-up interviews. The case presents an overview of the methodological challenges we confronted, including consideration of how best to engage diverse participants and choosing appropriate survey tools, given the unique needs of our population. We describe the strategies we employed to address these challenges and reflect on their effectiveness. In particular, we highlight a unique approach in which we hosted Knowledge Translation events that brought together individuals with autism spectrum disorder and their families with researchers, service providers, clinicians, and government representatives. These events proved critical across the research process, as they informed the original study design, served as a venue for participant recruitment, and inspired the inclusion of key questions within the interview guide. We also discuss methods of engaging hard-to-reach populations. The methodological implications of the study design and methodology are reviewed, and recommendations to future researchers are presented.
