In Hong Kong, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often receive multiple professional services, requiring children and their families to spend considerable time and resources travelling to a variety of professionals. Communication among professionals across centers and across professional disciplines treating ASD is rare, and there are only minimal services directed towards training, education and support to families. Lack of integration of services can undermine the effectiveness of the therapies. One solution to the need for coordinated care and assistance for families is the transdisciplinary program, in which a single professional is trained to provide a spectrum of services to a child with ASD and his or her family. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a transdisciplinary home-based intervention for children diagnosed with ASD for promoting developmental gains and reducing parental stress. Nine children with ASD in the age range of 32 months to 60 months and their families were randomly assigned to either a transdisciplinary home-based intervention (n = 5) or a waitlist control group (n = 4). Those in the intervention group received 10 weekly sessions of 1-hour one-on-one home-based transdisciplinary therapy, as well as parent support groups. The Psychoeducational Profile (PEP-3) and the Autism Parenting Stress Index were administered prior to and following the intervention and at similar intervals for the control group, and a post-intervention focus group was conducted. Illustrative case studies of five children reflect on key transdisciplinary interventions and their outcomes. Case studies and inspection of data show that the intervention was associated with changes in ability to manage novelty and change, concentration, communication, fine and gross motor, and emotional management. However, a two-way repeated measures ANOVA performed for the small sample (N = 9) did not reach statistical significance. An analysis of open-ended questions from the parent focus group indicated that the intervention was valuable and credible. Parents emphasized the value of direct observation for learning skills and that the home-based setting helped children feel more secure during treatment. The implications of these findings for ASD intervention and government policy in Hong Kong are discussed.
