This poster looks at the parent-professional journey from the point of view of a parent of a young child with Autism with significant delays.

Supporting Families of Young Children with an Incarcerated Parent - Poster 24

Tuesday September 17, 2024 6:00pm - 7:00pm CDT

Grand Ballroom A (Exhibits) - 1st fl

Birth-5 professionals aim to tailor outreach efforts, but more dialogue is needed on families with an incarcerated parent. We highlight cross-disciplinary literature and insights from a survey of incarcerated mothers and fathers’ parenting self-efficacy and readiness to reunify with their child. We discuss implications for tailoring support during and post incarceration.
