Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that requires ongoing support and intervention from family and related parties. The role of families, especially parents, is crucial in the admissions process, the provision of emotional support, as well as active involvement in the therapy and social interventions of children with autism. Various studies show that social support and family education contribute significantly to the success of children's growth and development. However, families also face challenges such as limited access to services, social stigma, and lack of knowledge. Effective approaches that can be used such as knowledge enhancement through education, social support networks, and collaboration with professionals. In addition, government policy support and the availability of inclusive services are also important factors in supporting the success of interventions. This study uses a literature review methodology and focuses on the role of families in supporting children with autism holistically to develop a sustainable and effective intervention program based on family needs. These findings are expected to be the basis for the development of a more comprehensive and adaptive family assistance strategy for various socio-cultural conditions.

This study aims to explore parental involvement in the assessment process for children with autism and to understand their experiences, roles, and challenges. The study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design involving three parents of children with autism who had undergone assessment by professionals. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results revealed five main themes: parents' initial awareness of their child's developmental differences, their role in providing developmental information, emotional experiences during the assessment process, the benefits of the assessment in improving understanding of the child's needs, and challenges faced during the process. The findings indicate that parental involvement significantly contributes to enriching assessment information and improving understanding of the child's condition, despite facing various barriers such as limited knowledge, time, cost, and emotional aspects. This study concludes that a family-centered approach is crucial in the assessment process. Therefore, stronger collaboration between professionals and parents is needed to support the optimal development of children with autism.
