Özet
Educational competencies for parents include the ability to acquire skills related to activities that aid in the social and emotional development of their children as well as the ability to manage problem behaviour and monitor their children’s behaviour. Additionally, the aim is to enable children to acquire communication and interaction skills, self-care skills, psychomotor and cognitive skills, and to facilitate their children’s social interaction. The aim of this study is to determine the educational needs of parents having a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in early childhood. The semi-structured interview, which is part of the qualitative research technique, was used in the present study. Data were gathered through a semi-structured interview form. The participants of this research consisted of 20 parents having a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in early childhood and living in Konya. The obtained data were analyzed using a descriptive analysis technique. The results of the study have revealed that parents having a child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in early childhood feel inadequate about helping their children acquire social and emotional skills, cognitive skills, language and communication skills, self-care skills, fine and gross motor skills, and dealing with the problem behaviors exhibited by their children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Parents reported that they need training programs on these issues. It is suggested that parent training programs should be effectively implemented and school administrators play a supportive role in parental education by cooperating with school counseling services and teachers.
