Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This new family intervention, called Dialogical Family Guidance (DFG) is developed to target family needs especially in families with a child with neurodevelopmental disorders. PhD study showed, that this intervention is functioning with this target group. Participants (families) experienced that they got information, guidance to ordinary life and that the DFG-therapists were listening to them and above all, helping with individual problems and questions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Previous studies have highlighted the need for families with a child with neurodevelopmental disorders, to get guidance to daily life, information and also professionals who allow parents to share their own experiences, feelings and questions. Dialogical Family Guidance is developed to offer target families (participants) the help mentioned above. This study is a postdoctoral study to achieve more knowledge and understanding about DFG intervention. This Postdoctoral study is focusing on DFG effectivity offered to families with young children (5-7years). Researchers also want to receive information about DFG effectivity between different units inside and outside the university hospital. Comparation between different units using DFG is one goal with this postdoc study. These results may give researchers deeper understanding when deciding where (university hospital och basic level units) and for whom (childrens age?) DFG intervention is giving the most optimal help.
