Abstract

Assessment for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has undergone significant development over the past decades. This study systematically reviews pragmatic assessment instruments used in clinical contexts for children with ASD. From an initial pool of 210 articles identified through academic database searches, a stepwise screening process (identification, abstract/title screening, and eligibility review) resulted in 21 eligible articles for full analysis. From these articles, 26 pragmatic assessment instruments were identified and systematically coded based on method of administration, target age group, assessed pragmatic features, and year of publication. The review reveals notable advancements, such as the adoption of video-based stimuli, inclusion of nonverbal elements, and use of multimodal approaches. However, several critical limitations remain, particularly the reliance on indirect parent or teacher reports (54%), which may overlook the dynamic aspects of social interaction. Most tools emphasize basic communicative functions (e.g., requesting, responding), with only 38% evaluating paralinguistic elements such as intonation and facial expressions. Moreover, approximately 80% of the instruments are designed for children under 12, leaving adolescents—who face increasingly complex pragmatic demands, including digital communication—underrepresented. Additionally, 88% of instruments were developed within Western cultural frameworks, raising concerns about cross-cultural validity in high-context cultures such as Indonesia. Two underserved groups also emerged: nonverbal children with ASD and adolescents primarily engaged in digital interaction. These findings suggest an urgent need for more inclusive, developmentally appropriate, and culturally responsive pragmatic assessment tools that can accommodate diverse communication styles and sociocultural contexts to ensure accurate and meaningful clinical evaluations.

Abstract

The estimated number of 0 to 4-years-old children with speech disorders in Indonesia is 1.3 million people. If they are not treated properly, they will have serious consequences in adulthood. The Ministry of health of Indonesia has launched a speech disorder detection in The Child Development Monitoring Programs carried out by Posyandu cadres or Community Health Center officers. To support the program, a poster design for the early Detection of Speech Disorders in Toddlers (DeGabbi) has been created. Prior to dissemination, it is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the poster by conducting qualitative research. FGDs with toddlers’ mothers and posyandu cadres were conducted using an open interview guideline regarding the message, the language, and the appearance of the poster. Triangulation was carried out on Puskesmas officers, media design experts, and Indonesian language experts. Prior to the FGD, informants were asked to look at Degabbi's poster on the room wall for 5 minutes. Results of the FGD showed that all informants understood the poster messages that stated, "Whether the child is a speech delay or not at this age." Regarding the contents of the poster, one informant stated that could not understand the foreign terms, and another informant suggested to add arrows as a flow guide. Concerning the appearance, one informant thought it was better to use a stiffer material and increase the poster size. The triangulation on media design experts provided feedback relating to the images, layout, and flow of posters, while Indonesian language experts provided feedback on the diction of substitute words for foreign terms and the more effective sentences and phrases. After knowing the weaknesses of the DeGabbi poster, it then will be corrected. The DeGabbi poster is expected to be an effective and have leverage for early detection of speech disorders.
