Take Home Messages from the study 1. Families are their own strongest resource for managing their lives. 2. Intervention focused solely on supporting families to achieve their prioritized goals leads to
significant improvements in children’s participation. 3. Using reflective discussion with parents to find strategies to achieve their goals leads to
parents experiencing less distress & more efficacy as parents. 4. Linking sensory patterns to activities and settings provided a structure for problem solving. 5. Families of children with ASD need additional support beyond what they get at school.
