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.

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.

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.

Download or read book Effects of Training with and Without Cultural Adaptations to Latino Caregivers of Children with Autism written by Fabiola Vargas Londoño and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), caregiver training has the power to positively impact the child’s development and the family’s quality of life. With training, caregivers can learn how to implement strategies to successfully reduce challenging behavior and increase adaptive skills in their child with ASD. Nevertheless, culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) families face unique challenges to access services that match their culture and language. Furthermore, the scarcity of appropriate practices when serving CLD families and the shortage of bilingual therapists add to the limitations of providing culturally adapted services for these families. To reduce this disparity for CLD families, it is essential to better understand the impact of current practices, when there is a mismatch between the family and training language, and when training has been culturally adapted. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of implementing caregiver training with and without cultural and linguistic adaptations on four Latino caregivers of children with ASD. A delayed multiple baseline design across caregiver-child dyads with an embedded alternating treatment design was conducted to investigate the relative effects of language on instruction, using English versus Spanish languages and teaching caregivers, via Telehealth, two different skills: (a) matching to sample and (b) motor imitation during play. Caregiver social validity, the child’s skill acquisition, and the training efficiency were also assessed. Results indicated that CLD families can benefit from training regardless of the language mismatch and that, with training, caregivers can positively impact their child’s performance. However, training that has been culturally adapted to match the family language has proven to be more efficient. In these circumstances, caregivers acquired the skill in fewer sessions, and their learning process was more stable. Caregivers indicated that the training in their native language was easier and more comfortable. Also, caregivers were more involved during training sessions that were culturally adapted. For instance, caregivers shared more personal information — “personalismo”—asked more questions, and showed more indices of happiness (e.g., laughing). Treatment gains were maintained during two-week and one-month follow-ups. Potential implications for policy and practice and recommendations for practitioners working with CLD families of children with ASD are provided, in addition to possible areas of future research
