Abstract

Early childhood intervention (ECI) services for children on the autism spectrum commonly espouse a family-centered approach but outcomes studies often focus solely upon the child. Mothers of 96 children on the spectrum (aged 4–5 years) completed a measure of access to ECI and the Family Outcomes Survey—Revised. Family outcomes after ECI were generally positive, although a notable proportion of mothers rated that their child still did not participate in social, recreational, or religious activities that they would want to (15.6%) and that as parents, they did not know about post-ECI options (14.6%). Family outcomes and perceived helpfulness of ECI did not differ with demographic data with the exception of Accessing the community subscale, which was significantly higher in families with incomes above AUD$80,000.

在澳大利亚接受早期儿童干预的4 - 5岁自闭症谱系儿童的家庭结果

针对自闭症儿童的早期儿童干预(ECI)服务通常采用以家庭为中心的方法，但结果研究往往只关注儿童。96名儿童(4-5岁)的母亲完成了对儿童智力指数和家庭结果调查修订的测量。ECI后的家庭结果总体上是积极的，尽管有相当比例的母亲认为她们的孩子仍然没有参加她们想要参加的社交、娱乐或宗教活动(15.6%)，而且作为父母，她们不知道ECI后的选择(14.6%)。家庭结果和感知的ECI帮助与人口统计数据没有差异，除了访问社区亚量表，在收入超过8万澳元的家庭中显着更高。

Of special interest are articles involving innovative interventions, summaries of important research developments and their implications for practice, updates for high priority topic areas, balanced presentations of controversial issues, and articles that address issues involving policy, professional training, new conceptual models, and related matters. Although data are often presented primarily to illustrate points, some types of data-based articles may be appropriate.
