Strong parent-school relationships are central to a child's learning, development, and well-being, yet when it comes to children with autism (ASD), it seems positive relationships are few and far between say UniSA researchers.
Lead researcher, UniSA's Dr. Kobie Boshoff, says support is urgently needed in schools to support the learning needs of children with autism. Occupational therapists are among theThe American Journal of Occupational Therapy"Effective parent-teacher relationships are vital for successful learning and well-being for children with ASD, but as this research shows, many parents are struggling to establish positive communications with schools," Dr. Boshoff says.
"The other issues relate to poor communication—many parents find it hard to connect with teachers, feel unheard, frustrated or stressed when talking with schools, or have been kept in the dark when it comes to their child's progress. Wherereport being heard, they are able to provide ideas and support the learning of their child in the classroom, allowing the teacher to get to know the child's needs better.
"Occupational therapists can help change this. By acting as a bridge between the parent and the school they can support parent advocacy, while facilitating school and staff understanding of the unique learning needs of each child with ASD.

Study proposes use of artificial intelligence to diagnose autism spectrum disorderDiagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is still a daunting challenge because of the degree of complexity involved, requiring highly specialized professionals. Autism is a multifactorial neurodevelopment disorder with widely varying symptoms. In the United States, about 1 in 36 children have been diagnosed with ASD, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and yet there are no biochemical markers to identify it with precision. A quantitative diagnostic method is proposed by Brazilian researchers in an article published in the journal Scientific Reports.

New research expands insights into most adequate treatment for uterine descentWhen uterine descent requires surgery, various procedures exist. A randomized clinical trial of the two most common uterus-sparing procedures in 26 Dutch hospitals has now been published in JAMA.
