In this qualitative study, parental perspectives were sought about the overall experiences of seeking support for children with Emotional/Behavioural Disorders (E/BD), from the early signs of disordered behaviour through the processes of diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. The parents of 4 children with Severe E/BD participated in interviews exploring child and family history, previous access to supports and services, and the perceived need for additional services for the child and/or family. Results were examined using multiple case study design, and indicated that parenting a child with E/BD results in significant impact on parental stress, employment, and health. The processes of assessment and diagnosis were perceived as confusing and overwhelming, and relationships with school personnel were often strained. The participants had variable experiences accessing supports outside of school. Examination of these perspectives suggests that continuity, collaboration, and communication continue to be necessary building blocks for developing effective child and family supports. / Special Education

The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / This thesis examines the relationship between environmental lead exposure and later emotional and behavioural problems experienced by 11-13 year old children enrolled in the Port Pirie Cohort Study (PPCS). The PPCS is the first study to monitor prospectively the association between lifetime blood lead exposure and children's behaviour. Prenatal and postnatal measures of lead exposure are collected from birth along with a large number of biomedical, socio-environmental and familial factors that might confound the relationship between lead exposure and children's behaviour. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Psychiatry, 1997
