The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of military families with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) specifically as it relates to relocation. Online survey methodology was used to gather information from military spouses with children with ASD. The finalized dataset included 189 cases. Descriptive statistics and frequency analyses were used to examine participant demographics and service delivery questions. Results indicated the larger sample of military spouses largely confirmed the experiences reported qualitatively in previous studies and contributed information that was previously unknown about variables associated with the access, availability, quality, and frequency of intervention services for military families with children with ASD.
本研究的目的是描述有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的军人家庭的经历,特别是与搬迁相关的经历。采用在线调查方法从有ASD儿童的军人配偶那里收集信息。最终数据集包括189个案例。使用描述性统计和频率分析来研究参与者的人口统计学特征和服务提供问题。结果表明,较大规模的军人配偶样本在很大程度上证实了先前研究中定性报告的经历,并提供了此前未知的有关为有ASD儿童的军人家庭提供干预服务的可及性、可用性、质量和频率相关变量的信息。
