Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 37-10 (November 2007) . - p.1902-1912 Titre : Access to Care for Autism-Related Services Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kathleen C. THOMAS, Auteur ; Joseph P. MORRISSEY, Auteur ; Carolyn MCLAURIN, Auteur ; Alan R. ELLIS, Auteur ; Julie L. DANIELS, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.1902-1912 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Services Access Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper identifies family characteristics associated with use of autism-related services. A telephone or in-person survey was completed during 2003–2005 by 383 North Carolina families with a child 11 years old or younger with ASD. Access to care is limited for racial and ethnic minority families, with low parental education, living in nonmetropolitan areas, and not following a major treatment approach. Service use is more likely when parents have higher stress. Families use a broad array of services; the mix varies with child ASD diagnosis and age group. Disparities in service use associated with race, residence and education point to the need to develop policy, practice and family-level interventions that can address barriers to services for children with ASD.

Finding Common Ground: Exploring Undergraduate Student Volunteering as a Support for Parents of Children With Autism / Andrew G. BREITHAUPT in Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 32-3 (September 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inFocus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities > 32-3 (September 2017) . - p.229-239 Titre : Finding Common Ground: Exploring Undergraduate Student Volunteering as a Support for Parents of Children With Autism Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Andrew G. BREITHAUPT, Auteur ; Kathleen C. THOMAS, Auteur ; Connie S. WONG, Auteur ; Gary B. MESIBOV, Auteur ; Joseph P. MORRISSEY, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.229-239 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : There are many unmet needs among parents of children with autism for parent respite and social time for their children. The use of undergraduate student volunteers is a potential strategy for meeting some of these needs. Separate focus groups for parents and for undergraduates were convened to assess feasibility, comfort, reservations, and mutual interest in this approach. Both parents and students identified common ground over undergraduate volunteer services, and described the boundaries of participation within which they felt comfortable. Findings suggest that student-provided respite care is a feasible support for parents raising children with autism and for students seeking volunteer and career-orientation experiences.

Use of Autism-Related Services by Families and Children / Kathleen C. THOMAS in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 37-5 (May 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 37-5 (May 2007) . - p.818-829 Titre : Use of Autism-Related Services by Families and Children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kathleen C. THOMAS, Auteur ; Joseph P. MORRISSEY, Auteur ; Carolyn MCLAURIN, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.818-829 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Services Treatment approach Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper describes approaches to care and associated service use by families with a child with autism. A combined telephone and self-administered survey was completed by 301 families with a child, 8 years old or younger, in North Carolina, during the winter of 2003–2004. Findings indicate that 66% of families used one or more approach to care and there was a significant (p < 0.05) association between approach and the pattern of service use. There appears to be a distinctive set of services associated with each approach to care, but with overlap between them. Speech/language therapy at school was the most frequently used service and also identified as the best service. The majority (81%) of families reported they were satisfied with services.
