Survey research was conducted with 180 families of children with autism spectrum disorder who were receiving disability-related services in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The principle measure used was the Beach Center Family Quality of Life Scale to assess five subdomains: family interaction, parenting, emotional well-being, material/physical well-being, and disability-related support. Results indicated that families felt the most satisfied with disability-related support and the least satisfied with the family’s emotional well-being. Family income, family type, and the severity level of autism were significantly associated with how satisfied families felt about their quality of life.

Positive and negative cognitive appraisal of the impact of children with autism spectrum disorder on the family / Liezl SCHLEBUSCH in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 51 (July 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 51 (July 2018) . - p.86-93 Titre : Positive and negative cognitive appraisal of the impact of children with autism spectrum disorder on the family Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Liezl SCHLEBUSCH, Auteur ; Shakila DADA, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.86-93 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Cognitive appraisal  Families  Middle-income country  Positive impact Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background This paper investigates the measurement of cognitive appraisal in the context of childhood disability in a middle-income country, and describes how South African families positively and negatively appraise the impact on the family of raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Method We used the responses of 180 parents who completed the Family Impact of Childhood Disability (FICD) Scale, which was part of the survey data gathered in a larger study that examined the perspectives of families of young children with ASD in South Africa. Participating families were recruited from 35 disability-related service providers in the Gauteng province. Results Our findings provided preliminary evidence about the suitability of using the FICD Scale in the South African context. The results indicate that the participating families perceived the impact of their child with ASD as both positive and negative. Conclusions The results of this study supported the universal properties of positive and negative appraisal when raising a child with a disability. Like other families in other countries, the participating families perceived the impact of a child with ASD as both positive and negative and revealed that parents are able to re-create positive meanings about the impact of their child diagnosed with ASD.
