Abstract

Children with ASD and ADHD require constant support, especially at home. Parental communication plays a crucial role in managing emotions, conveying instructions, and fostering adaptive behavior in children. This qualitative descriptive study involved three participants selected through purposive sampling, with data collected via interviews and observations, then analyzed interactively and validated through triangulation. The findings indicate that parental strategies include simple language, step-by-step instructions, nonverbal cues, positive reinforcement, emotion regulation, and collaboration with therapists. Challenges faced included language barriers, impulsivity, poor focus, and parenting stress. In conclusion, communication that is empathetic, responsive, and attuned to the child’s needs is key to the success of family-based interventions.
