- Abstract
The number of children with autism has drastically increased, despite the treatment being inadequate. The complexity of treatment for children with autism is due to special approach, method, and experts needed, as well as being relatively long-term and expensive. This present research obtained model of independent intervention program for children with autism through the development of systematic review result towards a number of empirical articles on autism intervention programs involving parents. The development of the model is based on cross-field study involving curriculum development, psychology (in particular, psychology of special needs children), and adult education (andragogy). The model proposed and developed in this research is expected to give parents of children with autism a solution to be able to independently perform intervention and early treatment for their children. By the intervention of their parents, the social skills of the children can be improved. Furthermore, the model is assumed to be effective, for parents are the closest figure to their children and able to spend longer time to guide them. Moreover, parents are assumed to be financially capable in performing the treatment as the cost of the intervention can be reduced due to its independent aspect.
