Core Tip
Core Tip: Remote support can enhance autism care through a family-centered approach by providing increased accessibility, reducing caregiver stress, and fostering collaboration between families and healthcare providers. To achieve these benefits, family-centered remote support should incorporate key components: Technology utilization, effective collaboration, tailored support services, peer support networks, and feedback mechanisms. Implementing such support requires careful consideration of technology access, professional training, assessment tools, data security, and cultural sensitivity. This approach has the potential to significantly improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and their caregivers.
