PM SESSION (12:30pm-2pm)
TOPIC DESCRIPTION & TITLE: AFTERNOON SESSION (12:30pm-2PM) *How to
beat the statistics:
Understanding and Addressing **: **How Autism
Affects the Family Unit***
Families can become consumed with
improving the life of their child(ren)
with autism. However, in
becoming singular in their focus to make sure
they have done everything they
can to help their child, they may
overlook how to create a balanced
family environment of love, peace, and
stability which serves as the
foundation by making the family
relationships a priority and focus.
There are purported statistics
indicating that the divorce rate of
families of children with autism is
in the 80% range. Personal
difficulties reported by parents of autistic
children include
increased stress; poor physical health; depression;
excessive time
demands; parental burnout; effect on family life, and
future
psychosocial problems. Parents also report decreased marital
satisfaction
and increased marital turmoil as a result of the daily
tensions
associated with raising an autistic child. This is an important
observation
considering that marital satisfaction seems to be a strong
predictor
of a parent’s ability to cope with his/her child's disability
(Friedrich,
1979). This workshop will focus on employing strategies to
build and
strengthen the family unit.
LEARNER OBJECTIVES:
Learner
will recognize common family stressors when raising a child with autism.
Learner
will identify strategies for improving marital communication toward a
common goal.
Learner will identify strategies to rectify these
stressors and improve the family unit.

based in New York. She
provides consultation to schools, agencies, and
home programs that serve
children and adults on the autism spectrum. She
has completed her course
requirements for a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
at Pacifica Graduate
Institute and is completing her dissertation. She
presents on a variety of
topics such as challenging behaviors, classroom
management, using visual
supports, team dynamics, and social skill
development at conferences
regionally, nationally, and internationally.
