Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurological condition which results in social skill deficits, communication difficulties, and restrictive and repetitive behaviour. The difficulties associated with parenting children with ASD have been studied extensively, mainly from the perspectives of mothers. The extent of involvement of fathers in the raising of children with ASD has received limited scholarly attention, especially in non-Western contexts such as the United Arab Emirates. Objectives This study asked mothers to evaluate the involvement of fathers in the development of children with ASD. Methods In all, 240 mothers completed the Fathers’ Involvement in Development and Rehabilitation Scale, designed based on a review of literature on the construct of involvement, namely attitude, participation in training, and support domains. The data were subjected to computation of mean scores, multivariate analysis of variance, hierarchical regression, and moderation analyses. Results The results suggested that fathers held positive attitudes and provided substantial support to their children with ASD. However, mothers were ambivalent regarding the participation of fathers in training to support the development of their children. Differences were also observed between participants according to marital status, location, child gender, and ASD severity. Conclusion Recommendations for targeted training for fathers and other study implications are discussed.

In the landscape of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), fostering women's empowerment through technology and financial literacy emerges as a pivotal strategy for sustainable development. This abstract presents a conceptual framework delineating the integration of technology and financial literacy to empower women entrepreneurs within SMEs, fostering economic growth, and societal advancement. The framework begins by recognizing the significance of leveraging technology as a catalyst for women's empowerment. Technology adoption facilitates access to markets, networks, and resources, leveling the playing field for women entrepreneurs. Through digital platforms, women can overcome geographical barriers, tap into global markets, and enhance their competitiveness in the digital economy. Moreover, the conceptual framework emphasizes the critical role of financial literacy in enabling women's empowerment within SMEs. Financial literacy equips women entrepreneurs with the knowledge and skills to manage finances effectively, make informed decisions, and access capital markets. By enhancing financial literacy, women can navigate complex financial landscapes, secure funding for business growth, and mitigate financial risks. Central to the framework is the intersectionality of technology and financial literacy, synergistically driving women's empowerment in SMEs. Technology serves as an enabler for financial literacy initiatives, providing accessible and scalable platforms for delivering financial education and services to women entrepreneurs. Conversely, financial literacy enhances women's ability to leverage technology effectively, maximizing the benefits of digital tools and platforms for business growth and sustainability. The conceptual framework underscores the importance of ecosystem support in facilitating women's empowerment within SMEs. Collaboration among government agencies, financial institutions, technology providers, and civil society organizations is essential for creating an enabling environment that fosters women's access to technology and financial resources. By fostering partnerships and collaborations, stakeholders can amplify the impact of initiatives aimed at promoting women's empowerment and sustainable development in SMEs. In conclusion, the conceptual framework presents a holistic approach to leveraging technology and financial literacy for women's empowerment in SMEs, offering insights into the interconnectedness of technology adoption, financial literacy, and ecosystem support in driving sustainable development outcomes. Implementing this framework requires concerted efforts from stakeholders across sectors to create an inclusive and supportive environment where women entrepreneurs can thrive and contribute to economic growth and societal advancement.
