A study into the beliefs relating to causation and the autism spectrum within Asian and White British families living in Manchester / Mischa MOCKETT in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 10-2 (Octobre 2009)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 10-2 (Octobre 2009) . - p.64-75 Titre : A study into the beliefs relating to causation and the autism spectrum within Asian and White British families living in Manchester Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Mischa MOCKETT, Auteur ; Latha HACKETT, Auteur ; Louise THEODOSIOU, Auteur ; Richard HACKETT, Auteur ; Amanda MOCKETT, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : p.64-75 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper written by a team of Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists, explores the differences in beliefs about the autism spectrum of 22 Asian families and 22 White British families living in Manchester and how this might link to practice in terms of access to services, educational provision and intervention. It is still the case that much of the material and training available for parents is written in English and from a Western perspective. Studies such as the one reported here are therefore vital to examine what changes need to be made when designing and delivering services for families and children from other ethnic groups. More work needs to be done in this area — both in terms of exploring how life is for families from different ethnic groups and how services and materials need to be adapted if aIl children and families are to access and receive the services they require. This paper might be a catalyst for readers to consider how they currently address the needs of families with different cultures, languages, beliefs and systems.

Supporting families post-diagnosis: An evaluation of parent workshops / Katy FLYNN in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 11-1 (May 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 11-1 (May 2010) . - p.31-35 Titre : Supporting families post-diagnosis: An evaluation of parent workshops Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katy FLYNN, Auteur ; Latha HACKETT, Auteur ; Jemma TOSH, Auteur ; Sam TODD, Auteur ; Caroline BOND, Auteur ; Alison HUNTER, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p.31-35 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The authors of this paper worked as a team to deliver a series of five workshop sessions to parents of children on the autism spectrum. Katy Flynn and Jemma Tosh are Assistant Psychologists, Dr Latha Hackett is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Dr Sam Todd is a Clinical Psychologist, Dr Caroline Bond is an Educational Psychologist and Alison Hunter is a Speech and Language Therapist. Given that autism has implications for many areas of a child’s development and daily living, it’s good practice for professionals from different disciplines to work together with families. Consistent messages and advice can then be given across services. The Manchester Autism Sessions were developed in response to a growing need for family support and information. This paper describes the workshop sessions and an evaluation of these to inform future work. Many services now offer parent training on the autism spectrum following diagnosis and 50 it is of interest to read this account and compare the intervention and outcomes with others.

The development, feasibility and acceptability of Empower-Autism: A new psychoeducational and psychotherapeutic programme for caregivers of children recently diagnosed with autism / Kathy LEADBITTER ; Louisa HARRISON ; Sophie LANGHORNE ; Ceri ELLIS ; Richard Smallman ; Amelia PEARSON ; Latha HACKETT ; Leo KROLL ; Alison Dunkerley ; Hilary Beach ; June Gilbert ; Amy van Gils ; Tessa Hutton ; Jonathan GREEN ; Penny BEE in Autism, 29-2 (February 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-2 (February 2025) . - p.367-381 Titre : The development, feasibility and acceptability of Empower-Autism: A new psychoeducational and psychotherapeutic programme for caregivers of children recently diagnosed with autism : Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kathy LEADBITTER, Auteur ; Louisa HARRISON, Auteur ; Sophie LANGHORNE, Auteur ; Ceri ELLIS, Auteur ; Richard Smallman, Auteur ; Amelia PEARSON, Auteur ; Latha HACKETT, Auteur ; Leo KROLL, Auteur ; Alison Dunkerley, Auteur ; Hilary Beach, Auteur ; June Gilbert, Auteur ; Amy van Gils, Auteur ; Tessa Hutton, Auteur ; Jonathan GREEN, Auteur ; Penny BEE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.367-381 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  diagnosis  caregivers  support  acceptance  commitment therapy Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Caregivers can experience significant challenges following their child?s autism diagnosis and often seek informational, relational and emotional support. Post-diagnostic support for caregivers has received relatively little research attention and represents a significant gap in the international evidence base. We used an iterative codesign process to develop a manualised group-based post-diagnostic programme, Empower-Autism, with associated theory of change, to address the diverse needs of caregivers and improve caregiver mental health. Empower-Autism blended evidence-informed autism psychoeducation with psychotherapeutic components grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Three feasibility groups (two in-person and one online) were delivered with 29 clinically referred, socioeconomically diverse caregivers. We evaluated feasibility and acceptability through quantitative attendance and satisfaction data, and thematic analysis of detailed interviews with 17 participants and 5 facilitators. Attendance was satisfactory (76% participants meeting prespecified criteria) and programme satisfaction was good. Qualitative analysis suggested the programme was acceptable and accessible, and highlighted the areas for improvement. Caregivers described perceived benefits from the programme, including improved wellbeing, social connection, autism positivity and more attuned parenting. Empower-Autism is being evaluated within a large randomised controlled trial and, if shown to be clinically and cost-effective, this programme will fill an identified evidence gap in the United Kingdom and global provision. Lay Abstract What is already known about the topic? Parents and carers face many challenges following their child?s autism diagnosis. They often look for information, and social and emotional support. There has been relatively little research into how best to provide this support and this means that there is no evidence to guide the delivery of services. Studies have suggested that an approach called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help parents and carers with their adjustment and emotional wellbeing. What does this article add? This article describes the development of a new group-based programme to address the diverse needs of caregivers after their child?s autism diagnosis. The new programme was developed with caregivers, autistic people and professionals. It was called Empower-Autism and contained lots of information about autism and strategies to support autistic children, alongside therapeutic aspects based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The programme was delivered to 29 parents/carers in three groups. Attendance at the groups was satisfactory. Both parents/carers and facilitators liked and valued the programme and found it accessible. They made suggestions for improvements. After the programme, parents and carers described improved wellbeing. They felt more positive and more connected to other people. They also described parenting their child in a more informed and sensitive way. Implications for practice, research or policy The new programme is being tested within a large clinical trial. If there are positive results, the programme could be recommended for delivery and this would address an important gap in evidence-based practice.

The Prevalence and Associations of Psychiatric Disorder in Children in Kerala, South India / Richard HACKETT in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-5 (July 1999)

Among 1403 children aged 8 to 12 years selected by random cluster sampling, a projected prevalence of 9.4% (95% CI 7.9–10.8%) was found. Associations of disorder with male sex, the Muslim religion, lower social class, less parental education, school failure, and impaired reading and vocabulary were found, but not with malnutrition or perinatal problems. The similarity to associations of disorder in Western studies was noted. The discussion focuses on the validity of comparisons of prevalence across cultures.
