Abstract

Parenting plays a crucial role in supporting the development and well-being of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This study aims to describe the implementation of integrative parenting practices for children with ASD at the Branjangan Jember Special Needs School (SLBN). Integrative parenting is an approach that combines emotional support, behavior management, educational involvement, and collaboration between families and schools to optimize child development. Data were collected through interviews and observations. The results indicate that integrative parenting practices are realized through intensive communication between parents and teachers, the implementation of structured daily routines, the use of positive behavioral reinforcement, learning support tailored to the child's individual needs, and active parental participation in school programs. Integrative parenting is an effective strategy in supporting the development of children with ASD and emphasizes the importance of synergy between families, schools, and the social environment. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a reference for educators, parents, and policymakers in developing more inclusive educational and support services for children with ASD.
