60 Second Science – Supporting the wellbeing of parents of autistic children

In today’s edition of 60 Second Science, CliniKids Autism Researcher Kathi Roiger discusses a recent pilot study looking at an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based parenting program for parents of autistic children.

The study looked at whether combining ACT with autism education, parenting skills, stress management and self-care could support parent wellbeing, parenting confidence and family outcomes.

Watch to hear what the researchers found and why supporting parent wellbeing can be an important part of supporting the whole family.

LAST CHANCE to have your say! 📣

Every response to the 2026 National Autism Parent and Caregiver Survey adds to the evidence.

One response might feel small, but together over 1,000 responses can build a much clearer picture of what families across Australia are experiencing. Your answers can help inform future research, policy, supports and services.

Watch the video to hear why your voice matters. 💙

Do you feel like you are getting the support you need as a parent/caregiver?

Maybe support looks like having access to helpful information or workshops.

Maybe it’s flexible working arrangements, connecting with other parents and caregivers through a group or forum, or something completely different.

Whatever comes to mind, your experiences and priorities are important in helping us understand what families across Australia need.

The 2026 National Autism Parent and Caregiver Survey is your opportunity to share what matters to you – from the things that are working well, to the things you’d like to see change.

There are no right or wrong answers. We want to hear yours. 💙

You see breakfast, getting dressed, playtime or drawing a picture.

An Occupational Therapist might see something more. 👀

Even the simplest moments can draw on many different skills, from coordination and planning to sensory processing and navigating the world around us.

Occupational Therapists look at the whole picture to understand what might be making an activity easier for a child, working alongside families to find practical ways to support their participation in daily life.

Have you noticed some activities are trickier for your child than their peers?

Occupational Therapy may be able to provide support. Learn more about CliniKids OT: https://tinyurl.com/4fuvcvjj

🎉 Happy 4th birthday to our Joondalup clinic! 🎂

Last week, we celebrated four years since CliniKids opened the doors to our second clinic in Joondalup, Perth.

Over the past four years, the clinic has supported more than 850 clients across over 13,000 appointments, providing evidence-based supports and services to kids with autism and developmental differences, while creating a space where families can feel welcomed, understood and supported.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of those four years – including our dedicated clinicians and Client Support team, the CliniKids research team who support us in bringing research into practice in our clinic, and all those working behind the scenes to make our Joondalup clinic what it is today.

And most importantly, a very special thank you to the children and families who have been part of our Joondalup community over the past four years.
