The problem of autistic children is quite serious, this can be seen from the increasing number of autistic children from year to year. In responding to existing problems, the role of social workers is needed to carry out assessments and interventions on the problems of autistic children by using a holistic approach to their social environment. Therefore, ULRS APD Sentra Mulya Jaya serves children with autism using a case management approach.
