Looking at the impact of attending BeyondAutism’s Early Years’ Service on the confidence, resilience, and overall outlook of a parent

Sarah Larner

ABSTRACT: This case study will look at one family who have attended BeyondAutism Early Years’ Service between January 2020 and present. Whilst the child has made significant progress within the areas of communication,
behaviour, play skills and social skills; this case study will look specifically at the impact on the mother, and how attending sessions has increased her confidence, resilience, and outlook on life. The case study compiles self-reported data taken by the mother each session, end of term questionnaire data, and quotes from the mother shared via email. The case study shows that for this family attending BeyondAutism Early Years’ Service had a positive impact on more than just the child.
