Parent-Mediated Interventions for Children with ASD in Low-Resource Settings: a Scoping Review

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

As a global health concern, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is known to affect millions of people regardless of their demographics. Children with ASD and their families in many low-resource settings (LRS) around the globe are reported to experience a multitude of barriers. Parent-mediated interventions (PMI) may be a viable treatment model in these LRS. Therefore, a scoping review was conducted to provide an overview of PMI-related literature in LRS. A total of 12 studies representing 10 different countries were reviewed. This review revealed strategies used to train and coach parents, target skills for children, and parents’ perceptions toward PMI in LRS. It also revealed the critical need for additional considerations for interventions adapted in these parts of the world.
