Parents' Views of the National Autistic Society's EarlyBird Plus Programme
Cutress, Anna L.; Muncer, Steven J.
Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, v18 n6 p651-657 Aug 2014
Parent training interventions are recommended for parents soon after their child's autism spectrum condition diagnosis with the aim of improving parents' psychological well-being and coping, as well as the child's behaviour. This report explores parents' views of the EarlyBird Plus Programme through data collected routinely in the post-programme questionnaire. Participants' reported increased understanding of autism and improvements in their communication with their child and their ability to manage their child's behaviour. Parents appeared to value the opportunity to meet with other parents, and the programme seemed acceptable to the majority of parents who attended.
