Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and early scientific intervention can significantly improve the prognosis of children with ASD. Family intervention plays an important role in the early intervention of ASD in young children. An increasing number of research teams have developed parent-mediated intervention models based on naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI). This review summarizes the primary evidence-based family intervention models, analyzes empirical research on these models in young children with ASD, and discusses methods to enhance the feasibility and effectiveness of interventions, so as to provide reference and insights for the better implementation of family intervention practices and research in China.

Key words
