Perceptions of a tool that considers the family in planning child-care services
The rationale and the necessity to involve family in interventions with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been well documented in the literature (Azeem, Imran, & Khawaja, 2016). The importance of equipping interveners to consider the family in service implementation is a wise choice. This article presents the results of a pilot study conducted with nine interveners and seven parents in order to document their perceptions of the use of the Outil de collecte d’informations relatives à la famille (OCIRF). A mixed method, including qualitative and quantitative assessments from diverse sources, was used. The results demonstrate notably that the parents are overall significantly more satisfied with the use of the tool than the interveners.
