Adaptation of the Parents Taking Action program for Diné (Navajo) parents of children with autism
Purpose Neurodivergent children who are part of Indigenous communities in rural areas often have inequitable access to specialized services. Parent education and training programs can be used to help address these gaps in the service system. Yet few parent education and training programs exist for Indigenous parents of children with autism, including parents who identify as Diné (Navajo, meaning “The People”), the largest federated tribe in the U…
Developmental Disabilities in the Context of Fragile Families
Racial–ethnic disparities in the diagnosis of certain developmental disabilities (DDs), such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), contribute to delayed treatment for Latinx children. Although recent data suggest the disparities are mitigated over time, Latinx children are still less likely to have an ASD diagnosis, and those from low-income families are disproportionately affected. To build on previous research emphasizing these racial–ethnic dispa…
Methods to Decrease Disparities in Age of Autism Diagnosis and Treatment Access among Latinx Children
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects a substantial number of individuals and their families. Early diagnosis followed by intensive behavioral services is critical to reducing social communication deficits and behavioral challenges. Research has continually demonstrated health disparities with Latinx families that perpetuate lower ASD prevalence rates, later ASD diagnosis, and limited access to treatment compared with white children. Moreover, L…
Characterizing communicative development in children referred for Autism Spectrum Disorders using the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI)
Characterizing early communicative development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is valuable for understanding profiles of ability in this population. The current investigation was modeled on Charman, Drew, Baird & Baird (2003 b ). Analyses explored parent report of early vocabulary, non-verbal communication, functional object use and play skills on the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) in 93 children with A…
