A conceptual model for co‐developing a culturally tailored intervention for Latina immigrant caregivers of children with disabilities
The growing diversity of the U.S. population, partly due to immigration, has called attention to scholars and practitioners to attend to immigrants' cultural beliefs, values, and ways of doing when designing interventions to promote health and wellbeing. In this paper, we propose a contextual and dynamic model for co‐developing a culturally tailored intervention with the community to advance equity and empowerment of Latinx immigrant caregivers o…
Cultural adaptation of an intervention for caregivers of young autistic children
Caregivers of autistic children in low‐to‐middle‐income countries experience many barriers to access resources to support their child's development. Caregiver training is considered an evidence‐based practice and may be a cost‐effective way to support caregivers of autistic children in such settings. This study focuses on the cultural adaptation of Parents Taking Action (PTA; Magaña et al., Family Process , 56 , 57–74, 2017) to support caregivers…
Impact of Covid-19 on the Mental Health and Well-Being of Latinx Caregivers of Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world in unprecedented ways. However, populations that have had a history of marginalization have experienced a more profound impact. One such group is Latinx families of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in the Unites States. In this study, we used a mixed methods approach to explore the impact of the pandemic on the mental health and well-being of Latinx caregivers of c…
Parents Taking Action
Latinx children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are underserved in part due to a lack of culturally relevant evidence-based services. We conducted a randomized control trial to test the efficacy of a culturally informed parent education intervention to address this gap. We assigned 26 Latina mothers of children with ASD to receive the intervention immediately (N = 12) or after all assessments were conducted (N = 14). All participants received…
Associations among family burden, optimism, services received and unmet need within families of children with ASD
Implementing an intervention to address challenging behaviors for autism spectrum disorder in publicly-funded mental health services
The themes provide specific direction for enhancements to AIM HI to maximize engagement of Latinx families. The themes also have broader implications for intervention development and community implementation including refinement of EBPs to facilitate fit and sustained implementation.

An Introduction to Race, Gender, and Disability
It's Just That Much Harder
This article reports on a focus-group study that examined the experiences and perspectives of low-income mothers with disabilities who were receiving disability income transfers. The women faced severe deprivation and multilayered hardships. Their impairments were not their central problem, but they intersected with the challenges associated with the women's poverty and single-parent status. The women coped with or resisted their hardships by ser…
Policy Lessons from Low‐Income Mothers with Disabilities1
This focus group study examined the impact of income transfer programs such as Supplemental Security Income and the Wisconsin Caretaker Supplement from the perspective of low‐income mothers with disabilities who are recipients of these programs. Participants reported that these programs were inadequate to meet their basic day to day needs in raising their children. Problems related to policy implementation identified by the women included inconsi…
Psychological distress and well-being of Latina and non-Latina white mothers of youth and adults with an autism spectrum disorder
This article examined the emotional well-being of 108 Latina and non-Latina White mothers who were coresiding with a youth or adult with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It was hypothesized that Latina mothers would be more satisfied with coresidence than non-Latina White mothers, and that satisfaction with coresidence would mediate the relationship between ethnicity and outcomes. When controlling for demographic characteristics, non-Latina Whi…
Well-Being and Family Role Strains Among Cuban American and Puerto Rican Mothers of Adults with Mental Retardation
This article examines predictors of depressive symptoms and caregiving burden in a sample of Cuban American and Puerto Rican caregivers of an adult child with mental retardation. Using a stress process model of caregiving, the focus of this analysis was on family role strains that result from the caregiving process, which were hypothesized to be particularly strong predictors of maternal well-being in Latino families. Findings indicate that Cuban…
