Tóm tắt

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction. Parents play a pivotal role in determining the efficacy of early intervention for children. However, through comprehensive literature reviews and comparative analyses, it is evident that parents frequently encounter psychological challenges, lack sufficient knowledge, and tend to employ impatient, one-way communication habits, despite the global availability of parental communication assessment tools. This underscores the urgent need to establish a framework for assessing parental communication skills in Vietnam, aiming to effectively transition their role from mere instructors to collaborative companions. Grounded in theoretical research, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for evaluating the communication skills of parents raising children with ASD. The framework encompasses distinct skill clusters: understanding the child to initiate communication, adjusting communication, stimulating communicative demands, and supplementing communication, which are evaluated across five proficiency levels. Consequently, the author proposes a questionnaire designed to measure the frequency of utilization and the proficiency level of each communication skill, thereby informing the personalization of parent training programs to enhance their communicative interactions with their children. The proposed framework is meaningful in guiding the evaluation and personalization of communication skills training programs for parents. However, further testing on appropriate samples is needed to verify the reliability, validity, and applicability of the tool.
