Description/Abstract
Although much research has documented the
benefits to children with autism of early intensive behavioral
intervention (EIBI), little has focused on the impact of
EIBI on families. Using a semi-structured format, we
interviewed 53 parents whose children had received
2 years of EIBI to obtain detailed first person accounts of
the perceived benefits and pitfalls of running a home program,
and the impact of EIBI on family life and support
systems. In general, parents were positive about EIBI, its
benefits for them, their child, and the broader family.
Interviews also, however, revealed some of the more
challenging aspects of managing home-based EIBI. The
implications of these findings for more supportive interventions
for families on home programs are discussed.
