Book Synopsis Supporting Siblings of Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). by : Sophie Eyres
Download or read book Supporting Siblings of Children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). written by Sophie Eyres and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section A: A review of current research literature relating to the impact of child ASD upon non-affected siblings and the utility of sibling group interventions. The first section summarises and critiques studies relating to the social, emotional and behavioural adjustment of siblings, including consideration of potential mediating factors and discussion of methodological issues. The second section considers evidence for one intervention for this group, ASD-specific sibling support groups. The review suggests that inconsistencies remain within the sibling research literature and that there is a clear need for UK-based outcome research. Section B: Background: Having a brother or sister with an ASD can be challenging for non-affected siblings. These children may experience reduced parental attention, isolation from peers and difficult sibling behaviours. This pilot study aimed to investigate the utility of support groups for siblings of children with ASDs. Methods: A within group, mixed methods design was used with a pre-intervention baseline. Participants were 35 children, aged 7-15 years, with an ASD sibling. All were attending ASD-specific sibling group interventions across the South East of England. Sibling rated self-concept, anxiety and anger and parent-rated emotional difficulties were collected at pre group, post group and follow up. One group also participated in a focus group. Results: Results indicated significant improvements in self concept and significant decreases in anger and anxiety following participation in an ASD-specific sibling group. Anxiety continued to decrease at 3 month follow up. Parent-rated sibling emotional difficulties did not change. All siblings valued the groups. Four main themes were identified from qualitative data: Siblings valued the opportunity to meet similar others, have fun, learn new information about ASD and apply this knowledge to their own situation. Conclusions: The present pilot study extends existing literature on ASD-specific sibling groups. This is one of the first studies to combine qualitative data with standardised outcome measures. Participation in an ASD-specific support group may be associated with more positive self concept and decreased anger and anxiety. Given inherent study limitations, further, controlled research studies are warranted. Section C: A critical appraisal of the study conducted in section B and a reflective account of the process. This includes consideration of research skills learnt, future adaptations, clinical implications and ideas for future research.

Book Synopsis Autism and the Family by : Kate E. Fiske
Download or read book Autism and the Family written by Kate E. Fiske and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ready-to-implement resources and approaches for effective professional care in school and clinical settings. The reverberations of autism spectrum disorders among parents and siblings can be complex. Parents may grapple with the impact of their child's initial diagnosis, wrestle with the tension between their professional ambitions and family obligations, and labor to maintain a healthy union with their partners. Brothers and sisters may be given less attention, asked to assume a more adult role than they feel ready for, or strive for meaningful connection and communication with their sibling and parents. Although the energy of clinicians, teachers, and other professionals working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder is often focused intensively on the child who is diagnosed, the practitioner can also be an invaluable resource for the child's family. Drawing upon clinical research and firsthand family interviews, this book helps clinicians understand the experiences of parents and siblings of a child with ASD from the time of diagnosis through adulthood. It provides clear recommendations for sensitive, informed professional support. Step-by-step in each chapter, Fiske elucidates such vital subjects as: Understanding the experience of diagnosis Recognizing patterns of parent stress over time Appreciating and navigating the effects of ASD on relationships between parents Involving and providing support for siblings Integrating grandparents and other extended family in care and treatment Understanding a family's culture Identifying and developing effective coping strategies Building a strong rapport with parents and family Guiding parents in the treatment of autism And many more, including key takeaways for assisting families in managing feelings of grief and guilt, navigating support options, treatment resources, and related financial concerns, and calibrating the division of labor in the home. Autism and the Family supplies all the foundations necessary for professionals to understand the full impact of ASD on the child, siblings, and parents and cultivate an empathic, supportive approach to treatment for the entire family.

Book Synopsis The Sibling-as-a-playmate for Children with Autism by : Ling-Ling Tsao
Download or read book The Sibling-as-a-playmate for Children with Autism written by Ling-Ling Tsao and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are many social skills and interventions available for professionals and parents to teach children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), none focus on sibling relationships and utilize the playmate role of siblings for children with ASD to establish a better sibling relationship. The purpose of this book is to introduce a sibling as a playmate for social interaction intervention for children with ASD. It aims to appeal to a broad audience of practitioners who provide services to children with ASD and/or families of a child with ASD with a solid research based instructional curriculum. The book is based on the previous research studies on the child-mediated social intervention for children with ASD; those results have indicated the positive impact not only on increased social initiations and responses of children with ASD, but also on the higher occurrences of interactions between children with ASD and their typically developing siblings and peers. With adequate support, siblings of children with ASD not only play and/or interact with their brothers or sisters with ASD to learn appropriate social skills, but they also gain confidence for being helpful and skillful in building a positive sibling interaction and relationship with their brothers or sisters with ASD. The central goal of this book is two-fold: (1) To address how a positive sibling relationship could be established and become a buffer factor to the stresses and impacts of autism on family ecology, and (2) to present a comprehensive intervention on siblings as the agents of social change in order to support positive sibling interactions between children with ASD and their typically developing siblings.
Book Synopsis Living with Autistic Spectrum Disorders by : Elizabeth Attfield
Download or read book Living with Autistic Spectrum Disorders written by Elizabeth Attfield and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2006-11-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ′The layout and presentation of the material are very "user friendly" and the book is, therefore, easy to read. Those with less direct experience of living or working with children who are autistic, including teachers and learning support assistants, who require some help in appreciating the complex range of behaviours and responses such children present, will find this little book illuminating′ - Support for Learning "This is a really practical tool........ the structure of the book is clear and uncomplicated for the reader to access. This book is based on a wealth of experience of working closely both with individuals with Autism and their families. It will be a revelation to professionals interested in this area and a comfort to carers who live the experience. Most importantly, it reminds us of the barriers to positive parent/professional partnership and challenges us to build supportive bridges to effective intervention for the individual with Autism. Autism NI (PAPA) was created out of such a dynamic approach and therefore welcomes this significant commentary on this critical issue." By giving a concise account of what life may be like following the diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) in the family, this book examines service provision at different stages, and provides information for parents, carers and practitioners′ - Arlene Cassidy, Chief Executive, Autism NI Parents want support and advice during and after a diagnosis of ASDs, and professionals want to be able to give the right answers. This book will meet the needs of both. Issues dealt with include: " how to help the family " how to help brothers and sisters " preparing children with ASDs for the world outside " keeping expectations high " how to work together with schools and other agencies " finding community links ′In my view it would be a good read for relatives, friends and teachers in training to enable them to understand many of the issues associated with children who have an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It points up the various facets of having and living with a child with autism - as far as possible from a positive point of view. The authors, from their obvious extensive experience, have identified many problems and circumstances that parents/carers are likely to meet and that can be tackled in a wide variety of ways. The book is designed to raise these for consideration - and this it does well′ - Support for Learning, Volume 22, Number 2

Book Synopsis A Targeted Intervention for Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders by : Amy P. Hansford
Download or read book A Targeted Intervention for Siblings of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders written by Amy P. Hansford and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sibling relationship provides a unique context for the development of interpersonal skills and lays the groundwork for extensive social situations with other children. Siblings of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) experience multiple stressors and increased caregiver demands that children with neurotypical siblings do not face. While some siblings do not experience significant adjustment problems, it appears that other children may have greater vulnerability to the development of significant adjustment problems and internalizing disorders. Very few studies have investigated the effect of a support group for children who have a sibling with ASD. The present study evaluated the effects of Project SibSTAR (Straight Talk about Autism Realities), an eight week support group that incorporated didactics, discussion, and role plays while using rigorous research design and psychometrically-sound measures. Twenty siblings of children with ASD were randomized to either the active or delayed intervention group. While the groups received the same intervention, the time-lagged design allowed for the assessment of a multiple baseline design across both groups and skills. In addition, participants reported on measures of psychological and social functioning at baseline, post group, and 6 week follow-up assessments. During these assessment sessions, data were also collected on play-based interactions within the sibling dyad. Outcomes were assessed across a variety of domains, including intervention acceptability, concepts taught during group, play-based behavioral principles, and self-report of internalizing symptoms, self-competence, and perceived social support. Results indicated that participants increased their knowledge of autism, coping and problem solving skills, and their knowledge of behavioral skills. Further, trend level decreases in internalizing symptoms were found from baseline to post group assessment, and significant differences were found on measures of perceived social support and social self-competence. While participants indicated high satisfaction with the intervention package, no significant differences were noted on play-based interactions with their sibling. The implications and future directions of this line of research are discussed.
