The core investigation addresses a significant gap in existing research by focusing on the impact that caregivers’ emotional management and empathy have on the developmental progress of children with ASD. Understanding this relationship is paramount, as it highlights potential areas for intervention and support that could enhance caregiving practices and, consequently, optimize the developmental trajectories of these children.
The methodology of this research incorporates a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with quantitative assessments to provide a comprehensive view of how caregivers’ emotional intelligence correlates with developmental outcomes in children with ASD. This methodological choice allows for a nuanced exploration of the dynamic relationship between caregivers’ EI and children’s well-being.
By emphasizing the critical role of caregivers’ emotional intelligence, this study contributes significantly to our understanding of effective caregiving strategies. It underscores the importance of integrating emotional intelligence training within educational and therapeutic practices tailored for ASD, offering valuable insights that could lead to improved support mechanisms for both caregivers and children. This research not only advances our knowledge in the field of ASD care but also proposes actionable strategies for enhancing the emotional and developmental support provided to children with ASD.
