Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (pages 37-40). This research explores the perceptions of parents and professionals in Bangladesh regarding Play-Based Early Interventions (PBEIs) for early childhood autism. Utilizing in-depth interviews with professionals and a focus group discussion with parents, the study reveals a consensus on the effectiveness of Play-Based Early Interventions in enhancing communication, behavior regulation, and social interaction among autistic children through fun-based learning. However, a pervasive lack of awareness poses a significant barrier to widespread adoption, with studies indicating limited knowledge among parents, teachers, and professionals (speech, occupational, and physiotherapists). The study identifies challenges, including cost concerns, lack of awareness, and inadequate professional training, particularly in the context of Bangladesh, and underscores the need for targeted educational initiatives, advocacy for PBEI inclusion in relevant curricula, and efforts to bridge the knowledge gap among parents and professionals. Economic barriers and the dynamic nature of play also emerge as challenges, requiring the exploration of alternative funding models and the development of cost-effective strategies. Despite these challenges, the study emphasizes the transformative potential of PBEIs in aiding the development of children with autism. The research concludes by endorsing a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to tackle challenges, unlock the full potential of PBEIs, and pave the way for progress for children with autism in Bangladesh Masuma Afreen M.
