    An exploratory study on the impact of autism spectrum disorder on family life
    (UMT, Lahore, 2024) Iman Ali
    The aim of the study was to assess the impact of autism spectrum disorder on family life. It was an exploratory study. A sample of 10 parents of children with autism were selected as a sample of the study by using purposive sampling technique. A self-developed semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from parents. The collected qualitative data were analyzed by applying thematic analysis to find the themes of the answers of parent’s interviews. The main findings of the study were included that family members experienced elevated stress levels as a result of the day-to-day difficulties of taking care of an individual having ASD, which may include behavioral problems and communication difficulties. Financial strain was the main issue they were dealing with. The family's general well-being was also influenced by the financial difficulties. The siblings of children with autism also affected in various ways. The requirements for their sibling having ASD impacted their social and emotional growth, and they may take on caregiving responsibilities. Siblings have, however, also experienced beneficial experiences, such as more empathy and understanding. Despite the difficulties, a lot of families managed to cope well. Families were more resilient when they participate in networks of support, interventions, and educational initiatives. This is, in my opinion, the main problem for parents since they require support services. The government offers very little assistance. Parents said that since there is no assistance from the government, they must individually assist their children and provide them with therapy. The training of family members should arrange for future. Financial and technical support should provide to the families of autistic children’s government give them proper resources.

    Challenges faced by the families of children with hearing impairment
    (UMT, Lahore, 2023) MAHAM ARSHAD; MOHSIN AQEEL
    The disability of a child exacerbates family problems. There wasn't much information on how to do this study before The child's ability to hear their parents is influenced by the laterality of their hearing loss, the placement of any cochlear implants, and other factors. In this quantitative investigation, the relationships. People now have a conceptual foundation for comprehending how each family member is a part of a bigger unit whose actions, feelings, and experiences affect everyone else in the family. The family systems theory is where this framework is derived. Those who replied to a survey asking them to rate their own levels of stress on a Likert scale as parents of hard-of-hearing children who reside and get care in Pakistan provided the data for this study. An internet hosting platform was used to collect data from 151 individuals, which was then examined using ANOVA, factor analysis, and descriptive statistics. Except for communicative stress markers, parents of cochlear patients (n = 37) who had hearing implants reported being the most stressed. Communication issues (n = 56) were the most frequently reported (with reference to hearing children's parents who are blind in one ear). The 58 parents who were actively listening to their children who were unilaterally deaf performed the lowest. One of the main factors contributing to parental stress was the different perspectives of educators and healthcare providers. The findings of this study shed light on how hearing parents' levels of stress are affected by a child's hearing loss, resulting in beneficial social change. The resources that are available to families, care providers, and educational institutions may be improved with the aid of this knowledge.
