Teachers and parents play an important role in helping children with autism (Autism Spectrum Disorder/ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) to improve their social skill. Online learning is an alternative way for teachers and parents to help that children. This study aims to analyze parents’ and teachers’ need of family-based distance learning model, so the learning models and materials fit with children with ASD and ADHD and make them learn effectively. This study was conducted qualitatively through surveys and group interviews with convenience sampling. Survey’s result of 30 parents and teachers found that 100% subjects agreed and needed a distance learning social skill model. For this reason, the distance learning model for social skill needs to be designed so that parents and teachers can learn about social skill independently, both at school and at home. From group interviews with 13 parents and 23 teachers, it was concluded that parents and teachers agreed and needed the learning material, namely social interaction, communication, and independence; but that learning materials needed to be improved. Recommendation was given to learning media, film storylines, and learning stages too, that are suitable on three themes namely: Let's Do It, Let's Show It, and Let's Go. The next stage is the drafting of maritirukan.com page based on this research’s result.
