Abstrakt: In pursuit of every individual's access to education regardless of one's status in life, the Philippines established special education (SPED) centers to cater to children with special needs. Children with autism are the expected beneficiaries of these centers. This research assessed the impact of parental involvement on the communication skills of children with autism at a SPED center in Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. Their teachers, regarding their communication skills, assessed 30 children with autism. At the same time, parents were asked to rate their extent of involvement in their child's school activities using survey questionnaires. Different statistical tools were used to treat the data gathered, such as the weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Results revealed that parents were involved in the school activities of their children. However, the children had a moderate manifestation of communication skills. It was found that there is a moderate positive significant relationship between the parents' involvement and the communication skills of the children. Thus, teachers are encouraged to design programs for the children that would involve the parents in enhancing the communication skills of children with autism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
