TITLE:  Understanding the Decision-Making Process
of Parents Who Choose Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Their Children with Autism

This session will summarize the results of a study that explored the decision-making processes of parents who choose Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies for their children with autism. Based on parent interviews, a framework was developed to explain the complex processes by which parents of children with autism choose CAM. The results of the study have implications regarding the type of information and decision-making support required by families of children with autism.
