Core Tip

Core Tip: Integration of remote psychological interventions into traditional autism care leads to the positive impact of stress-level reduction and increased active engagement of parents in childcare, having a positive impact on a child’s developmental outcomes. There is a need for culturally sensitive and easily accessible interventions on a global scale to have a widespread impact on diverse populations. Therefore, moving forward, the focus should be on scaling interventions globally while ensuring long-term effectiveness through digital adaptation and continuous monitoring.
