A Strength-Based Approach to Parent Education for Children with Autism

Type
Summary

There are multiple approaches to parent education. This study used a small sample (N = 3) of children with autism and their mothers to investigate different outcomes when providing parent education through strengths-based versus deficit-based approaches. Though there is difficulty making firm conclusions because of the extremely small sample size, there did seem to be benefits to the strengths-based approach.
