Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that causes lifelong impairments in physical, psychological, and social functioning. This disorder manifests when a baby is still in the womb and is detected around 24 months of age. Sixty children who attended part-boarding individual hours were transported to the Nhan Tam Children's Education and Counseling Center and Quang Ngai Provincial Psychiatric Hospital for intervention and evaluation; they were assessed for ASD using the Childhood Autism Spectrum Disorder scale (CARS) and were the subjects of our study. Before their involvement, the researcher explained the purpose of the research to the participants and received their informed consent. The results showed that 75% of the children had a severe form of ASD, whereas 25% had a mild or moderate type. Indicators of verbal and nonverbal communication were prominent among children with ASD. In terms of average test scores, we found a difference between children of stable-income parents and those from disadvantaged households. This offers a basis for educators, clinicians, and sociologists to implement education, intervention, and treatment for children with ASD, as well as to enhance awareness about this condition so that parents pay more attention to their children.
A child's or adolescent's social-emotional abilities are crucial as protective components in their overall development since they protect them from a variety of behavioral and mental health problems, including risky conduct and psychological symptoms such as rage, despair, and anxiety. The major purpose of this study was to investigate the social-emotional abilities of Vietnamese elementary school children, specifically their ability to collaborate and empathize with others and the ability to regulate their emotions and solve problems. Students in the 4th and 5th grades completed the 40-item questionnaire, with 562 boys and 764 girls answering the questions in total. As a result of the research, the primary finding indicated that social-emotional skills in elementary school children can be identified, strengthened, and nurtured. These skills enable children to accumulate and apply knowledge effectively to solve problems in life, achieve academic goals and become more empathetic to others, and build and cultivate better relationships with their peers and teachers.
