The resilience of parents with children with autism is a key concept in the confrontation of the autism challenges which demand parents who are mentally healthy and who will be in a position to satisfy the special needs of their autistic children, however, without sinking into loneliness and isolation which affect the less resistant families and upset their inner balance. The parents resort to various sources for the strengthening of resilience, it is the power of God both as a cause of the origin of autism and as the unique or one of the possible ways of resolving the problem. This survey investigated the views on divine will as to the origin and confrontation of autism in families of Christians and Muslims and it attempted to highlight the possible differences in the culture of these groups that are different in terms of culture and religion. The parents of 312 autistic children in Greece, all of them couples, namely 624 men and women, constituted the population sample. The quantitative survey results showed that the Greek Christians satisfy more efficiently their child’s needs, perhaps because they attribute lesser importance to the factor of the Divine compared to the parents of other religions. The weaker connection between the origin and management of the disease and the Divine will allows them to invest in scientific help for addressing a problem which in fact they perceive in more positive social terms than the Muslims do.

The resilience of parents of children with autism is considered as one substantial strategy to address the problems in raising a child with autism spectrum disorders. In this article, the results of the investigation of the relation between the parents’ family resilience and their sex, as well as their children’s sex and age, are shown. The parents of 312 autistic children in Greece, all in couples, namely 624 men and women, consisted the population sample. It was considered that, at least regarding the factor of the sex, the research would result in covering some research gaps of the bibliography, such as the interest in the fathers, provided that research usually investigates the female side, ignoring, to a great extent, the paternal behavior. Moreover, it was believed that the research can practically contribute as a guide for the inclusion of the parents themselves in the therapeutic interventions of autism and highlight the importance of dividing their responsibilities in the care of the autistic child, which is usually placed on the shoulders of women, namely on the mothers, with every possible consequence on their mental, emotional and physical health. The correlation of resilience and sex also took into account the parameter of the children’s sex, as well as the issue of their age, in order to draw conclusions also about the importance of these factors of impact on the parents’ resilience.

The article is dedicated to the problem of academic skills assessment in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) participating in the Adapted Educational Programmes 8.1 and 8.2. Implementation of inclusive education raises a question of academic assessment and test accommodation design for students with special needs. We provide a description of an approach called the ‘Universal Design of Assessment’ and analyse the main features of cognitive and social development in children with ASD which have to be accounted for in the educational process. We then discuss the International Performance Indicators in Primary Schools (iPIPS) and its modification for children with ASD developed according to their special needs. A brief outline of research results shows that the modification of the iPIPS technique does not affect the measured construct. Finally, we provide some recommendations on how to apply the technique depending on the students’ individual features.

Original teaching materials with dot codes were created for use with autistic children with intellectual and expressive language disabilities. One of the authors (S. I.) created “Post-it” sticker icons on which dot codes were printed and shared these with teachers of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Each sticker icon was linked with up to four multimedia mediums of expression, such as a movie, in addition to up to four voices/sounds. Touching a dot code icon with a speaking-pen enables audios to be replayed, and touching a dot code icon with a dot-code reader with Bluetooth functionality enables multimedia to be replayed on iOS and Windows OS devices. New software to create self-made teaching materials with dot codes was developed by Gridmark Inc., with the help of author S. I. Basic information on creating original teaching materials using this newly developed software and its use in schools for students with ASD are presented in this chapter.
