Caregiving for individuals with autism in forceful displacement crisis
The Quality of Life of Iranian Mothers and Fathers of Children with Autism
The findings support the case for services to adopt a family-centred approach to the support they provide and for a greater engagement with fathers. Three strands are proposed for future research: recruiting families who receive little or no support, the identification of strategies for meeting the personal needs of parents, and undertaking longitudinal studies of interventions to improve family quality of life and the outcomes these have on the …
Parenting - Challenges of Child Rearing in a Changing Society
Parenting is a lifelong task and parents are always remaining as a parent. Parenting in the present situation faces many challenges which need to be reviewed and understood with profuse equanimity and alacrity. This book tries to consider the process of parenting in different conditions such as during COVID-19 lockdown, in the refugee camps, and in different cultural structures and economic conditions. Situations that families face due to changin…
The Psychometric Properties of the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (Gars-3) with Kurdish Samples of Children with Developmental Disabilities
There is marked variation internationally in the prevalence of children identified as having autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In part, this may reflect a shortage of screening tools for the early identification of children with ASD in many countries. This study aimed to evaluate the Kurdish translation of the Gilliam autism rating scale-third edition (GARS-3), a scale commonly used in Western countries that evaluates six domains related to the AS…
Screening Children for Autism Spectrum Disorders in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Screening tools for the early identification of developmental disabilities are strongly advised, yet culturally valid tools are not readily available for use in low- and middle-income countries. The present study describes the context and the processes used to develop a suitable screening procedure for use in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. This was based on an autism rating scale-GARS-3-developed in the USA for use primarily with children's parent…
The Use of Psychotropic Medication in Iranian Children with Developmental Disabilities
The use of psychotropic medication in children is increasing worldwide. Children with developmental disabilities seem to be prescribed these medications at a higher rate compared to their non-disabled peers. Little is known about prescribing in non-Western, middle-income studies. In Iran, the file records of 1133 children, aged 2 to 17 years, assessed as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or an intellectual disability (ID) in Tehran City and P…
Parental Satisfaction with Caregiving across the Life Span to Their Children with Developmental Disabilities
The increased life expectancy of adult individuals with developmental disabilities and the likelihood of parents having to continue caregiving into their old age is an emerging international issue which deserves investigation, especially concerning satisfaction with caregiving. Moreover, this needs to be assessed in different cultures in order to create a better understanding of how families are best supported in their lifelong caregiving. A samp…
Parental Beliefs and Feelings about Autism Spectrum Disorder in Iran
Based on findings for the identification, description, and treatment of ASD in Iran, it is argued that since Iranian parents had their special justification regarding their experience with ASD, early child development and interventions must be understood within cultural context. Culturally informed research on ASD is vital to boost awareness of the importance of understanding parental concerns and their need for educational and psychological serv…
Parental Satisfaction with Caregiving for Children with Developmental Disabilities
Parents of children with developmental disabilities face many challenges. Those who are less satisfied with the care-giving that their children receive may require extra support. This paper reports the development of a Parental Satisfaction with Caring for a child with Developmental Disability Index (PSCDDI), with items derived from literature reviews and pilot testing in Iran. The index was field tested with 256 parents caring for children with …
Perspectives on Inclusive Education of Preschool Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Other Developmental Disabilities in Iran
Background : Iranian children with disabilities invariably attend special schools and many may be excluded from education entirely. Information on preschool education is limited but probably mirrors the situation in schools. There is a lack of information in terms of parental preferences for schooling and teachers' experiences of inclusion in Iran. Method : Two feasibility studies were undertaken; one with 89 parents of children with autism or in…
Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder and children with intellectual disabilities and their stress and general health
INTRODUCTION: The negative impact on mother’s well-being of having a child with developmental disabilities is well established in Western societies. By contrast less research has been undertaken in other cultures or with fathers. METHOD: A convenience sample of 91 parents was recruited in Tehran: 50 parents of children with intellectual disabilities and 41 parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A Farsi translation of two widely …
