Abstract: This study examines the current status of case management practices for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at Mam Xanh Social Enterprise in Hung Yen Province. Data were collected through a survey of 17 teachers who work directly with and interact with children with ASD. The findings indicate that, at the time of the study, Mam Xanh had not established a specialized department responsible for social work or case management nor had it employed dedicated case managers with formal professional training in this area. In practice, activities involving children and their families were primarily undertaken by inclusion teachers and special education teachers. These teachers were directly involved in engaging with children, conducting assessments, developing intervention plans, implementing support activities and monitoring children's progress. Although these practices incorporated several components of the case management process, they had not yet been formally organized as a comprehensive case management service. Accordingly, rather than examining case management at Mam Xanh based on a formally established case management department or service model, this study analyzes existing practices in relation to the five-stage case management process commonly applied in social work. The findings suggest that Mam Xanh has established a relatively systematic process for providing individualized educational and intervention services. However, limitations remain in professional training related to case management and in coordination between families and the center. These limitations may increase the workload of individual teachers and affect the continuity and effectiveness of support provided to children with ASD and their families.
