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

Abstract Dysphagia is a swallowing disorder commonly experienced by older adults and is often overlooked because it is considered a normal part of the aging process. If left unmanaged, dysphagia may lead to serious complications such as choking, aspiration, malnutrition, and decreased quality of life. This study aimed to analyze dysphagia prevention in older adults through food modification education. A quantitative study using a one-group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design was conducted. The participants consisted of 29 older adults selected through purposive sampling. A pretest was administered to assess baseline knowledge regarding dysphagia prevention, followed by an educational intervention that included dysphagia education, food texture modification, safe eating positions, and swallowing exercises. A total of seven participants completed both the pretest and posttest assessments. The results showed an improvement in posttest scores compared to pretest scores among participants who completed the intervention, particularly in understanding appropriate food textures and safe eating positions. These findings indicate that food modification education is an effective preventive and educational approach for dysphagia prevention in older adults. Continuous and structured implementation of this education is recommended to support safe eating practices and improve the quality of life of older adults.

Abstract

Children with cerebral palsy often experience feeding and drinking difficulties due to impaired motor control and swallowing disorders. This condition increases the risk of choking and nutritional problems when parents lack adequate knowledge of safe feeding and drinking practices. This community service activity aimed to improve parents’ understanding and skills in preventing feeding and drinking errors in children with cerebral palsy by strengthening parents’ and caregivers’ knowledge and practical skills. The activity was conducted through lectures on feeding posture techniques, appropriate food texture selection, and recognition of feeding readiness signs, as well as demonstrations and guided practice of oral motor exercises focused on swallowing stimulation. The evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post test assessments involving 16 parents or caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 71.88 in the pre test to 90.63 in the post test. This community service activity contributes to supporting safer feeding and drinking practices for children with cerebral palsy.
