Technology-Assisted Parent Training Programs for Autism Management

Involving Cybersecurity to Protect Small to Medium Sized Businesses

The developmental condition known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined by recurring behavioural patterns and challenges with social communication. Taking care of a kid with impairments presents parents with a lot of emotional and practical obstacles that might affect their family's arrangements. This article examines the integration and efficacy of technology-based parenting interventions for addressing ASD, focusing on how these programs are developed, which technologies are used, and how they affect parent-child relations and success rates. The phenomenology design, a qualitative research approach, was used to analyse the experiences of primary school students with disabilities in virtual education activities after the global pandemic 2020. The design allowed for a comprehensive understanding of students' perspectives and solutions. Face-to-face training techniques are effective but cannot reach all families due to transport, money, and time issues. Distance-based training and technology-assisted training solutions provide a solution by disseminating high-quality, evidence-based training to a broader audience. The results show that ADEPT and the PLAY Project are examples of potential supports involving the application of digital tools to provide parents with essential training content to create proper home conditions for further child development. Evaluating the success of these initiatives is crucial to assessing their impact and potentially modifying them. Scientific methods like randomised controlled trials or longitudinal studies provide insights into the efficacy of technology-supported training. At the same time, measurable quantities like parent-child interaction or behavioural changes prove its effectiveness.
