| Résumé : |
In this paper, the authors (who are both Clinical Psychologists) describe the evaluation of a psycho-educational group run with ten different groups of parents, developed to support those who have recently received a diagnosis of autism for their pre-school child. A total of 92 parents/carers attended. Results demonstrated a significant increase in ratings of parental satisfaction and efficacy and a significant decrease in the ratings for symptoms of depression and stress following completion of the group. Qualitative parental reports of the group were also positive. Ideas on how to change the group sessions in the future are given to meet some of the specific needs of parents. As the authors point out, such groups are often highly valued by parents and cost-effective in terms of time and resources. Many services in the UK now offer post-diagnostic parent sessions and t is important that professionals continue to question what they present and the impact these have on both the parents and the children. |
