Involved Fathers Get Results: Making a Difference with Autism matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in case conceptualization, intervention design, staff training, and literature-informed problem solving. In Involved Fathers Get Results: Making a Difference with Autism, for this course, the practical stakes show up in stronger conceptual consistency and better translational decision making, not in abstract discussion alone.

Fathers are more involved than ever, and research backs up their impact on children. However, when a child has autism there are often steep challenges for the typical fathers. This presentation will draw on recent research on the potential for growth and overcoming the barriers that autism presents. Even though there's a huge potential for fathers to contribute positively to the development of autistic children on the spectrum, many fathers feel powerless to engage in play with a child who has more repetitive and less varied play. Most fathers have a difficult time talking about their feelings especially when unable to fix the problem. 80% of children diagnosed with ASD are boys which can be especially difficult for fathers who expected a typical boy. This presentation will help fathers, families, and professionals to make a plan to go forward.
