“…This finding could be justified by the fact that children with ASD can present externalizing behaviors 13 , which can be quite challenging. Alike similar studies, it is possible that, over the course of guidance, these mothers became more attentive to such behaviors and had greater perception of their difficulties in dealing with these challenges 10,11,14 .…”

“…Even though the families were initially in social isolation (due to the COVID-19 pandemic), most mothers did not remind observing people's strangeness. This information shows that, after being questioned, mothers may have started to reflect and observe, in a more directed and attentive manner, the behaviors of their children and how other people act in relation to these behaviors or difficulties 10,11,14 .…”

“…If, on the one hand, the inferential analysis indicates that the intervention had no effect on this sample concerning the mothers' perception, on the other hand, it is important to consider that the instrument used has a much more qualitative nature, even using response categories 10 . It should also be mentioned that no studies were found in the literature discussing the analysis of the questionnaire score; rather, only its use is discussed when comparing populations 11 . Therefore, considering its more qualitative nature, the descriptive analysis is valid to investigate the particularities of each moment of questionnaire application.…”

Purpose: to characterize the perception of mothers of children at risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder about their children's communicative difficulties, and to investigate possible changes after intervention based on brief guidance by telemonitoring. Methods: eight mothers of children aged 32 to 45 months with suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder undergoing diagnostic investigation participated. The Communicative Difficulties Questionnaire was used, applied before and after intervention based on a brief telemonitoring guidance. The inferential analysis used the Wilcoxon rank test, at a significance level of 5%. Results: comparison between the two moments did not indicate statistically significant difference. However, there were changes in qualitative analysis. In domain 1, a change in mode was observed in two questions. Initially, in domain 2, a disagreeing mode was seen, which after the intervention evolved to agreeing about the feeling of other people avoiding/bullying their children. In domain 3, the question “I take all objects that my child points to” changed from agreeing to disagreeing (62.5% to 25%), and the question “I can't teach my child new things” had no change in mode, only a reduction of agreement (50% to 25%). In domain 4, there was a reduction in agreement, with no change in mode. Conclusions: the mothers perceived communicative difficulties and daily challenges in dealing with their children. Despite the lack of a statistical difference, qualitatively subtle changes were observed in the perceptions of difficulties, after the intervention.

“…Children with a speech delay can affect further developments, such as developments in writing and reading which result in academic success (Tomblin, Zhang, Buckwalter, & Catts, 2000). In addition, the delay in speaking can also affect a child's ability to socialize (Sun & Fernandes, 2014). Children become shy, have lack of confidence and lack of courage to do things, that can interfere with the child's personality development (Lipscombe, Boyd, Colemen, Fahey, Rawicki, & Whittingham, 2016).…”

Delay in talking to children certainly has an impact on the stages of its development so that it requires a communication strategy from both parents and teachers to stimulate the child's speaking ability. This study aimed to describe the application of communication strategies and the effect of their application on children's communication skills. This research is qualitative research using a case study method involving students, parents and kindergarten teachers in Jumni City, Palopo. The results of observations and interviews were then analyzed using thematic content analysis techniques. Based on observations and interviews conducted, it was found that parents implemented various strategies, such as speaking slowly and clearly, routinely inviting talking and using hand movements. While, the teacher implements strategies to correct word pronunciation errors, invites storytelling and uses body movements. Through the application of this strategy, the child's ability to speak is getting better and the principle of two-way communication can occur where students are able to channel their desires, imagination, and emotions. Thus, it is hoped that communication strategies can be developed and implemented by parents and teachers to the fullest.
