Parent-led therapy (PLT) shows growing evidence for autistic children in bilingual settings. More research is needed to standardize reporting and support these families effectively.
Area of Science:
- Developmental Psychology
- Clinical Psychology
- Speech and Language Pathology
Background:
- Parent-led therapy (PLT) is increasingly recognized for supporting young autistic children.
- Bilingual environments present unique considerations for early intervention.
- Evidence mapping is crucial to understand current research on PLT in diverse linguistic contexts.
Conclusions:
- There is a growing body of evidence for parent-led therapy in bilingual contexts for autistic children.
- Inconsistent reporting of language environments and demographic data highlights a need for improved standards.
- Further empirical research and practice are essential to center parents in early support for autistic children in bilingual environments.
