Abstract
The Cygnet program is a structured initiative designed to empower parents and caregivers of children on the autism spectrum. By recognizing parents as the primary experts on their children, the program builds on their experiences while addressing unique challenges. Addressing the critical need for ongoing assistance, we examine parental self-confidence before, shortly after, and long after program completion, revealing that the benefits diminish over time. To enhance the program, we analyze feedback on thematic session content and propose extensions. Additionally, we advocate for the creation of a sibling-based intervention program derived from CYGNET sessions to provide comprehensive support for families. By addressing these challenges and proposing targeted interventions, our research aims to improve parental confidence and child well-being, thereby fostering a more effective support system for families navigating the complexities of ASD. The findings underscore the importance of sustained interventions and tailored programs for diverse family needs.
