Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 134 (June 2026) . - p.202915 Titre : Home-based interventions for autistic children in Saudi Arabia: Carers’ training programme Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rehab ALRAJHI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202915 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Carers’ training  Autism spectrum condition  Maternal stress levels  Parents’ satisfaction  Home-based intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This feasibility pilot study aimed to assess the impact of a training programme on carers’ knowledge, performance, and the progress of autistic children. Additionally, it aims to examine the effects of training programmes on maternal stress levels and evaluate the satisfaction levels of mothers and carers of autistic children. Seven mothers and seven carers participated in this study. Only the carers underwent a 12-hour training programme. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative outcome measures with satisfaction surveys and qualitative interviews. The study assessed changes in carers’ knowledge and awareness, as well as the satisfaction levels of both mothers and carers. Maternal stress levels were also measured. The results show that the training programme showed a trend towards improvement in carers’ knowledge and awareness, with mothers’ ratings of carers’ knowledge reaching statistical significance (p = 0.043). Both mothers and carers reported higher satisfaction levels. Maternal stress showed a notable decrease, though this did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.181). Mothers also reported observable improvements in their children’s development following the training. These findings suggested that implementing similar training programmes could enhance home-based intervention, improving the overall quality of care and support for autistic children and their families. These findings have practical implications for families employing domestic workers to support autistic children, suggesting that structured carer training can be a feasible and cost-effective approach to enhancing home-based care and reducing parental burden.
