Brief Summary

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

Collaborative early management of children under 30 months with autism spectrum disorder and their families in an ambulatory child psychiatry unit.

Detailed Description

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

Early intervention in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is now considered a priority. An approach that targets both child disorders and parental distress, and supports the skills of parents, is desirable. Yet there is no early intervention by the ASD involving parents and targeting both child functioning and parenting skills specifically.

Our objective is to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the collaborative family support system for ASD "Coquille". This scheme combines the development of a personalized care project based on parents' priorities, an intensive single-family parent-child follow-up and a group of multi-family therapy , over a total period of 6 months. Our main hypothesis is the significant decrease in behavioral disorders of children, evaluated by CARS, following the Coquille device. Our secondary hypotheses concern the evolution of parental dimensions following the device (sense of coherence, parental skills, parental stress, coping strategies and social support). We assume that these dimensions will change as a result of the scheme, and that they will be maintained in the medium term, six months after Coquille. A semi-structured interview will qualitatively explore the dimensions related to family resources, before and after the follow-up and in the medium term. This will also allow the mother to collect experience of the device.

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

In this context, an innovative early-stage device was launched in the fall of 2022 at the Coquille unit of the Ville Evrard Public Health Establishment (EPSVE), for children under 30 months with Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families.

This six-month therapeutic device in day hospital includes:

* 22 TMF sessions,
* four two-family observation sessions,
* three sessions of four unique family sessions,
* the possibilities of individual targeted intervention in case of need estimated by families and/or caregivers.
