“…Through international partnership (as in a consortium) institutions are able to share academic resources, ease logistical and bureaucratic challenges, facilitate educational advancement, and promote internationalization. 16 For instance, the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) in Switzerland used to only offer a diploma course in occupational therapy. By joining the Euromasters in occupational therapy consortium, while not without challenges, the ZHAW was able to upgrade their occupational therapy program to a bachelor's degree level.…”

Background: To advance occupational therapy knowledge and practice in Southeast Asia, it is pivotal that quality master’s degree programs in occupational therapy are in place. Such a program must respond to the needs of the region in terms of occupational therapy education, practice, and scholarship. By recognizing the diversity of the occupational therapy education and training in the region, it has become possible to consider alternatives in establishing a graduate program in occupational therapy through partnerships and consortia. In order to make an informed decision to decide whether co-creating a master’s program in occupational therapy through an international consortium within the region is possible or not, a needs assessment is warranted. Objectives: To describe the profile of occupational therapists living and working in the Southeast Asian region who would like to pursue a master’s degree in occupational therapy via an international consortium. Materials and methods: An online survey design was used to produce data that would be used to inform the co-creation of an international master’s program in occupational therapy. The survey questionnaire was designed specifically for this study and included three sections: 1) information and consent form; 2) demographic information; and 3) information about the need for and preferences on a master’s program in occupational therapy. Participants were recruited through professional organizations and various social media platforms of national and international occupational therapy groups. Results: Eighty-five final-year occupational therapy students and 143 occupational therapists from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and other countries completed the survey. Majority (62%) of the respondents was interested in pursuing a master’s degree in occupational therapy because they perceived that an advanced degree can enable specialization in practice, promote personal and professional development, and help generate new knowledge for the field. The characteristics of the envisaged international master’s program must be: 1) completed ideally in 1.5 to 2 years, 2) taken by part-time students who are also working practicing, 3) delivered via a hybrid arrangement (i.e., online and face-to-face) with a fixed weekly schedule, and 4) matriculated for USD 1,000 per semester. Conclusion: While this cross-sectional survey cannot encapsulate the totality of occupational therapists’ needs in terms of their professional development, the survey provided an empirical basis to inform decisions in the creation of a master’s program in occupational therapy jointly offered by an international consortium of Southeast Asian universities.

“…Manfaat dari pelatihan orangtua adalah meningkatkan perilaku adaptif, kemampuan bahasa, dan sosialisasi-komunikasi anak (Ingersoll & Wainer, 2013). Hal tersebut diperkuat oleh penelitian Saloko et al (2021), yang mengatakan, bahwa untuk mengobati anak ASD secara efektif, orang tua perlu dilibatkan dalam upaya intervensi. Selanjutnya (Estes et al, 2019), mengatakan bahwa melibatkan orang tua dalam pengobatan tidak hanya bermanfaat bagi anak tetapi juga meningkatkan fungsi orang tua dalam keluarga, dan memperbaiki hubungan orangtua-anak pada anak dengan ASD.…”

Parents with kids who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) usually will do extra activities regarding child care. Many of them have inadequate knowledge of caring kids with ASD properly, and the lack of information results mistreatments. These inadequate treatments given to kids with ASD will impact on the kids’ ASD symptoms and problems. This study aims to investigate the need of integrative intervention that will bring important changes to kids with ASD. This study also suggests to integrate intervention to parents and intervention to kids with ASD. The study is exploratory study in nature, with observations and interviews as instruments. The results of this study give empirical knowledge regarding impact of integrated intervention on ASD. The result of the intervention shows that psycho-education therapy to parents and communication therapy to kids that are done effectively and efficiently proven to be effective. This also proves that intervention that is done consistently can help kids to grow. The limitation of this study is it cannot be used generally as only one subject taken as study sample. Hence, further study needs to be done regarding intervention in bigger scope for proposition testing. Orangtua yang memiliki anak Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) pada umumnya akan melakukan aktivitas ekstra dalam penanganan. Banyak dari mereka tidak memahami betul penanganan yang tepat untuk anak-anak mereka. Banyak orangtua yang melakukan tindakan yang tidak memadai karena kekurangan informasi mengenai penyebab dan langkah apa yang harus dilakukan sebagai orang tua. Perlakuan orangtua yang kurang memahami penanganan ASD akan berdampak pada peningkatan masalah simtom-simtom yang terjadi pada anak ASD. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pendekatan intervensi integratif untuk membawa perubahan penting pada anak-anak dengan gangguan ASD. Intervensi integratif berupa intervensi langsung kepada orangtua dan intervensi kepada anak dengan gangguan ASD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Penelitian ini menggunakan purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Hasil intervensi menunjukkan bahwa terapi psiko-edukasi kepada orangtua dan terapi komunikasi dengan flashcard kepada anak yang sesuai kebutuhan dan kompetensi anak terbukti efektif. Hal ini juga menjadi bukti bahwa intervensi dengan konsisten dapat membantu anak menjadi fungsional dan berkembang. Penelitian ini memiliki keterbatasan yaitu belum bisa digunakan untuk generalisasi secara luas karena pendekatan yang diambil hanya pada satu subjek. Oleh karena itu, makalah ini menyarankan intervensi dalam ruang lingkup yang lebih luas untuk menguji proposisi.
