Abstract

In early intervention programs, parents’ roles are pivotal in children’s development. This review analysed global parent-implemented social communication-based intervention practices in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), whereby this approach gained attention with the rise in ASD prevalence. A comprehensive literature search found three key themes. First, the review identified the study characteristics, including years of study published, countries of the studies conducted, and study design. Second, this review focused on intervention programs embedded in parent-implemented intervention and its related findings. Third, the review documented critical elements contributing to positive outcomes for parents and their children. This review highlights diverse elements in the parent-implemented intervention approach, which provides a preliminary understanding of how to support parents in delivering the intervention effectively to their children, thus supporting social communication development among young children with ASD.
