Part of the book series: Autism and Child Psychopathology Series ((ACPS))

Abstract

Family inclusion with regard to treatment and intervention selection benefits clinicians, caregivers, and clients. Caregivers of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder are more likely to experience depression and stress-related concerns than other caregivers. As clinicians, it is important to support parents in their journey through diagnosis, therapy, and advocacy for independence throughout their child’s life. This chapter describes the roles of caregivers, clinicians, and school personnel with regard to family inclusion in treatment. Additionally, key factors in establishing support programs for caregivers are discussed. The evidence base for the use of parent training to increase skills across settings and caregivers is examined in order to provide evidence-based treatment implementation considerations to clinicians. Finally, this chapter will review the literature regarding inclusion of family members that are typically underrepresented, including siblings, fathers, and grandparents, to ensure clinicians consider the entire family unit when including family members in treatment.
