Psychosocial Support Models for Parents of Children with Autism: Global Insights and Implications for Vietnam

Ha Nguyen Thi Email
Abstract This article presents a comprehensive review of psychosocial support models for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that have been implemented internationally, with the aim of proposing contextually appropriate adaptations for Vietnam. A systematic review of scientific literature was conducted using both international and national databases, focusing on models that incorporate intervention, group therapy, skills training, and peer support. The findings reveal a diversity of psychosocial support approaches and emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary, community-based models that are culturally responsive. In Vietnam, current models remain fragmented and lack a standardized framework for evaluating long-term effectiveness. This paper proposes several principles for developing effective support models, including interdisciplinary integration, active parental participation, the involvement of master trainers, and the establishment of community support networks.
