Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) poses significant challenges for families, with limited access to specialized care being a critical concern. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of remote support, highlighting its potential to enhance family-centered care for children with ASD. In this editorial, we comment on the article by Lu et al, emphasizing the effectiveness of integrating remote support courses with traditional caregiver-mediated interventions. We further explore the benefits of remote support in delivering family-centered care, summarize the essential components of effective family-centered remote support, outline key considerations for implementation, and discuss potential future research directions. We conclude that family-centered remote support has the potential to significantly improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with ASD and their families.
