Abstract/Summary
This study determines the early intervention strategies employed by parents and teachers for children with autism so that collaboration between home and school can be established.Twenty-two parents and twenty teachers from Special Education Centers in the Division of Manila City Schools were involved as respondents and to whom the 51-item researcher-made questionnaire was administered. Based on the responses given, both groups of respondents employed a variety of early intervention strategies. Findings indicate that while parents used strategies involving modification of environmental factors that trigger behavioral problems among their children with autism, most often the strategies most often used by teachers involved training for self-reinforcement and self-monitoring and providing environmental and social rewards. Comparing the early intervention strategies utilized by parents and teachers of children with autism, it was found that there was a significant difference both in the nature of strategies employed and the extent of use of these strategies.
