Overview
"Early intervention is critical for young children with autism spectrum disorder to provide the child and the family with necessary support and services to increase family well-being. This study uses a mixed methods design to investigate early intervention factors that contribute to family satisfaction and well-being, among a small sample of mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder or other related conditions (PDD-NOS, aspergers, etc.). The results revealed that families expressed high levels of satisfaction with early intervention, especially with speech and language services. Qualitative findings further explore parents' attributions to their positive satisfaction, negative satisfaction, advantages to accessing EI, barriers to accessing EI, the impact of family well-being, and the desire to improve the EI system for other families. A case scenario is presented to apply these findings and illustrate ways providers might interact with families to support access to early intervention and promote family well-being." -- Abstract
