“…Parents need a good support network. Having access to a support network and receiving specific support related to their child yielded great benefits for parents of children with autism (Guralnick et al 2008). Parent support groups should involve meeting other parents of children with similar conditions.…”

Research studies have shown the importance of early intervention services for young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families. However, most attention has been given to the effectiveness of treatments solely for children with ASDs. Because the family centered practice has been emphasized and supported by many researchers and legislation, involving family members other than children with ASDs and their parents in the assessing, planning, and implementing interventions is seen as crucial. The purpose of this article is to review what sibling relationships look like for a typically developing sibling of a child with an ASD and what resources are available for parents and specialists to support siblings of children with ASDs.

“…Stressful circumstances related to their child's behavior, life changes required of adapting to the diagnosis, and difficulty accessing the necessary services and resources to support their family are common experiences of parents after receiving a diagnosis (Boullier, Drake, & Banach, 2008;Guralnick, Hammond, Neville, & Connor, 2008). These experiences point to a need for adequate follow-up services.…”

Receiving a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder often elicits strong emotional reactions from parents of the diagnosed child. Follow-up services and continued support for these families is a necessary component to help families adapt and meet their and their children's needs. This pilot study measured the effects of a six-session, co-facilitated, support group on the advocacy skills and self-efficacy of parents coping with a child's diagnosis. Statistically significant increases in the average mean scores for the three subscales of the Family Empowerment Scale were found. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

“…As childcare concerns are one of the highest reported stressors in Servicewomen (Kelley et al, 2002), retention rates may become impaired if they are not addressed and support is not implemented. Working mothers of both civilian (Guralnick et al, 2008;Hill, 2005) and military sectors have stated how support, in the form of parent management training and family-based interventions for example (Gewirtz et al, 2011), is vital for reducing childcare-related stress which, in turn, optimises mothers' abilities to successfully balance multiple roles.…”
