Fathering Children with Autism: Needs, Practices and Service Use
No Customer Reviews
It is now widely accepted that positive father involvement in children's lives results in better child outcomes across a range of social, emotional and cognitive dimensions. However, very little is known about the perspectives, practices and needs of fathers parenting children with autism. Developing a better understanding of the role of fathers of children with autism is a priority for new research and this volume - which includes original empirical material from a large-scale study - takes an important step in the right direction. It explores fathers' roles and responsibilities; own mental health issues; challenges and sources of support; positive experiences and coping strategies; communication and interaction; and service use. Filling a significant gap in autism research and contributing to the emerging discipline of fatherhood studies, this book will be of interest to academics and advanced students in sociology, education, disability studies and social policy.
