The Family Check-Up: Implementing a New Family-Centred Model Within Autism Services
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Family Check-Up and Treatment as Usual for Autism Spectrum Disorder and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 82 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Many children and youth with autism spectrum disorder have high levels of emotional and behavioural problems. Parents play a powerful role in supporting their children's well-being. Research also shows that certain factors (e.g., parent mental health, access to services) can affect autistic children's well-being in important ways. Despite this, autism services rarely ask about, or act upon, the factors that we know affect child and family well-being. We are addressing this problem by testing a program called the Family Check-Up within a large autism service. The Family Check-Up is a strengths-based, family-centred program aimed at improving child well-being by working with parents to identify their family's unique strengths and challenges, set goals for change, strengthen positive parenting, and connect to needed supports.
