| Résumé : |
Parent-professional partnerships (PPPs) can benefit child development and parental well-being. This study conducted by Anna Price, an Educational Psychologist, considers parents and professionals’ views of a PPP in supporting children with autism. The findings showed the value of regular contact between parents and professionals, but there was a lack of parental and professional confidence in their ability to support children with autism in the children’s schools and issues raised about the diagnostic process and follow-up support. However, there are other studies which have reported good parental satisfaction with schools and with follow-up after diagnosis. There is much evidence now on what parents value and how they can be well supported and many mainstream schools are also adjusting their practice and being flexible in meeting the needs of children with autism. Similarly, protocols have been developed and published on how diagnostic assessment should be done and how parents should be supported through the process (eg, National Autism Plan for Children, 2003; SIGN, 2007). But the study in this paper shows that it is still the case that there are areas of the UK where support in schools and from professionals is not yet good enough. So, there is a need for ail those involved in the field of autism to share ideas on how best to meet the needs of children with autism and their families. The wealth of good websites on autism and the growth in training materials on autism should mean that more and more parents feel supported in their lives with children with autism in the future. |
