Abstract:

Caregivers of autistic children often struggle with adherence to behavioral interventions compared to other treatments (Moore & Symons, 2009). Clinician and caregiver goals sometimes differ; however, even when aligned, caregivers may not consistently implement strategies. By taking a collaborative approach focused on caregiver perspectives, clinicians can identify key barriers and provide tailored solutions with compassion to empower caregiver’s consistent use of strategies. This panel will discuss potential obstacles that caregivers experience in using behavioral techniques with their child, as well as how to identify the barriers with families. Possible solutions will be offered, involving both direct contingency management as well as strategies to address caregiver’s private events that interfere with them being able to engage in value directed behavior. Equipped with an understanding of barriers and practical solutions, clinicians can partner with families to problem-solve obstacles and provide the support needed to enable consistent intervention implementation. This panel focuses on actionable steps for service providers to empower caregivers in overcoming barriers and engage in values-based care for their autistic children.
