This book was released on 2010 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore Latino family experiences raising children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), including their knowledge of autism, their extended family members views of autism, their social support and relationships with physicians to identify the limitations and barriers of Latino parents. Thirteen Latino parents raising a child with autism were interviewed from a specific area of Los Angeles. The results found that Latino parents continue to struggle with physicians to obtain the appropriate treatment for their children with autism. Latino communities continue to lack education on mental health issues jeopardizing how parents cope and react to their children's distinct behavior and coping. Due to the sample being small and from a specific area of Los Angeles, more research needs to be conducted on different socio-economic areas of Los Angeles, as well as implementing new policies to better serve the Latino community.
Download or read book An Exploratory Study of the Perceptions and Experiences of U s born Latino Parents in a High poverty Urban School District in Relation to Their Role in the Education of Their Children written by Sylvia Ramirez Reyna and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative interpretive research study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latino parents in a high-poverty urban school district in Texas regarding their role in their children0́9s schooling. Specifically, this study was organized to understand what the selected Latino parents perceived as parent involvement, what expectations they had of the school and, conversely, what expectations the school personnel had of them, and finally, what perceptions the parents held about their role in school-parent activities. Though parent involvement is considered to be one of the most important factors in a child0́9s success in school, this study also explored the perceived chasm in the alignment between the school and the home of the U.S.-born Latino family. The interpretative approach and dialogical exchange, through a semi-structured interview process, provided the opportunity to add the voices of second- and third-generation U.S.0́3born Latino parents to the current discourse about parent involvement. All of the participants met a general description as a second- or third-generation U.S.-born Latino, whose primary language is English, whose children have been involved in the identified school system for at least five years and were academically successful, and who the school considered to be uninvolved in the schooling process. The data analysis process involved a methodical process of breaking down the information presented in in-depth interview transcripts, observation, field notes, documents, and participant and researcher texts. By using a focused coding technique, patterns or concepts that best represented the participants0́9 voices surfaced. The codes were reviewed and categories or themes were then developed. The parents0́9 voices also provided information suggesting that the perceived lack of participation in the sanctioned school activities by some U.S.0́3born Latino parents stems from an apparent failure on the part of school personnel to recognize the cultural capital and richness of the culturally diverse household. Specifically, through the theoretical framework of funds of knowledge, the stories of the seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latinos noted that Latino families have assets that contribute to the academic success of their children, yet they are often dismissed by school personnel.

Download or read book Experience with Accessing Education Resources and Special Education Services written by Verenice Orozco Corona and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This qualitative phenomenological interview study investigated the barriers faced by Latino Spanish speakers with limited English proficiency (LEP) when seeking to obtain a diagnosis and special education resources for their children. This minority population faces several barriers that may be linked to a later diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among Latino children; however, limited research has focused on the identification of these barriers and factors that contribute to a later ASD diagnosis in Latino families. Five Latina Spanish-speaking mothers with LEP were included in this study. Two 1-hour interviews were conducted per participant. The results showed barriers associated with the health care system, culture beliefs, cultural differences in the view of disability, limited health literacy, LEP, lack of ASD knowledge, and lack of competent interpreters.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the experiences that Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Latino parents of children with Autism have had in working with school systems. The sample consisted of 3 families with children in grades kindergarten through third grade. The parents interviewed in all families were mothers of male children with Autism. This case study used narrative research methods to examine the personal stories of Latino parents of elementary age students with ASD who are currently attending schools in urban communities predominantly composed of CLD families. Parents participated in two individual interviews and a platica, which were all composed of a structured series of questions. The data collected through these interviews and platica helped create a story for each participant. Additionally, educational documents acquired through the families were reviewed and analyzed. There were numerous factors found impacting the experiences of these Latina mothers. This study exposed that special education professionals need to improve the quality, consistency, and tactful approaches in collaboration with CLD Latino families. By investigating the perspectives and experiences these Latina mothers had, this aimed to describe specific occasions in which these parents felt marginalized and disengaged. Some of these factors included cultural differences, language barriers, available parent participation, lack of advocacy skills, and parent confidence level.

Abstract: Previous research has been interested in studying parental emotion socialization practices in parents of typically developing (TD) children. The current study aimed to explore such practices among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).Seventy-eight families participated in this study. Self-reported rating scales were adopted to measure the child's social competence, parenting stress and maternal emotional styles. As hypothesized, results showed significantly different patterns in maternal emotional styles between mothers of children with ASD and those with TD children. However, inconsistent to our hypothesis, the maternal emotional styles were found to be neither related to child's social competence nor parenting stress within the ASD group. Implications of findings on future research and practice are discussed.

Download or read book Mexican American Fathers of School aged Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Adrea M. Hahn and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the lived experience of Mexican American fathers who have children with autism, including the father's role in the family and his involvement in the life of his child. This phenomenon was explored qualitatively through culturally-sensitive interviews of five first-generation Mexican American fathers selected from a support group from Spanish-speaking parents of children with autism. The findings of this study indicate significant strengths that Mexican American families may have in dealing with the challenges facing similar families. The results also highlight the families' considerable needs that available services are not providing for Spanish-speaking clients and individuals with autism. Important topics that are described include the role of the father in the family and his relationship with his child with autism. The investigation also relays the fathers' concerns and the challenges that they are faced with in their own family. In addition, the results demonstrate ways in which the fathers choose to deal with stressors and the sources of support which they tend to access. The discussion concludes with suggestions for professionals to overcome treatment barriers and directions for future research aimed at developing and implementing more effective and culturally sensitive treatment.
