Abstract
Nowadays, importance of attention to couples with developmental disorders is clear to family therapists. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Family Consolidated Treatment of Autistic Disorders (FCTAD) on marital satisfaction of couples with autistic children and comparing it with Little Bird program. 42 couples with autistic children were selected, using accessible method, from Tehran Autism and Ava centers and divided to three groups, using random method. Measuring device was ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Inventory. Data were analyzed using MANCOVA and ANOVA, and showed that the differences of FCTAD with the other two groups on considering child, conflict, friends, leisure time (between subjects variables) sub-scales and the total score of Marital Satisfaction Inventory were significant. These significant differences remained unchanged till follow up (occurred one month after the last session of the program). Findings showed that FCTAD program can be considered as a flexible program, which adjusts itself to specific characteristics of each family, so is useful in increasing marital satisfaction of parents with autistic children.
