Ways to support parents of children with disabilities through various models of correctional assistance

The article is devoted to a theoretical analysis of ways to support parents used in some modern models of early care for children with ASD, such as ABA therapy, DIRFloortime, ESDM, traditional types of correctional care, a developed version of early care based on a cultural and historical approach, and a classification of support methods. The role of a parent at an early age is extremely important, it is the relationship with the parent that is the driving factor of his mental development, and the development of a child becomes difficult for the whole family of such a child, which necessitates the need for parental support. The forms of support for parents of children with ASD are diverse, through theoretical analysis, five groups of such forms can be distinguished: directly aimed at the child, directly aimed at the parent, aimed at teaching the parent child development techniques along several main lines (motor skills, speech, perception, etc.), aimed at teaching parents communication development techniques, aimed at teaching the parent's techniques for developing various forms of communication and leadership activities. Each of the described forms has its own advantages and a number of limitations. It is concluded that in modern Russian correctional practice there is a shortage of forms of parental support aimed at teaching a parent both communication skills with a child and child development skills along several lines, and it is suggested that early intervention specialists should be trained in ways to support parents of children with ASD.
