An evaluation of EarlyBird and EarlyBird Plus over seven years: the benefits of parents and school staff being trained Together / Michelle CLUBB in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 13-1 (May 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 13-1 (May 2012) . - p.69-81 Titre : An evaluation of EarlyBird and EarlyBird Plus over seven years: the benefits of parents and school staff being trained Together Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Michelle CLUBB, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.69-81 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Evaluating data over a seven-year time span or looking at the effects of a programme delivered across several groups of parents and staff is rarely done. More often, authors report on interventions that have occurred within a fairly short time-frame and often with just one or two groups of participants. This paper is a welcome departure as such data strengthens the conclusions that can be drawn from practice. The EarlyBird programmes lend themselves to being evaluated as questionnaires for parents are built into the process. Often data are not collected about interventions because professionals do not have the time to write and develop the tools to do this. Good practice would be to create a set of questions for parents, staff and individuals with autism to provide feedback on what they value or find difficult with the services or interventions they receive - so that modifications can be made. In this paper, such questions led to new ideas on how the material might be altered and which staff might be recruited to the EarlyBird plus programmes. It also showed the real benefits of parents and staff attending training events together.
