Structural Family Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder

SFT for ASD is an evidenced informed treatment that can be the first line of support post diagnosis and is strongly recommended as treatment later as the child and family continue to develop.

SFT for ASD has been shown through research to:

  • Increase flexibility in families, allowing individuals to have tangible skills with issues like transitions.

  • Increase connectedness of families and create positive family dynamics.

  • Decrease rigid rules and roles which often limit how families deal with issues or in understanding their children as they grow.

  • Enhance communication skills between family members.

  • Provide family based (systemic) treatment for families who have children with ASD.
