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.

Download or read book A Workshop for Spanish speaking Parents Attending Their First Individualized Education Plan written by Samantha Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to KidsData (2020), Hispanics/Latinos make up majority of students in California (57.2%) receiving special education services. Research shows that monolingual Spanish speaking families face systemic barriers such as discrimination and lack of knowledge of their rights when navigating special education (Burke et al., 2021). There is current research that supports that parent education/support can empower families to advocate and learn about the many layers of the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) (Magaña et al., 2017). However, there is a lack of research related to workshops for parents attending their child's first IEP meeting or advocacy training (Burke et al., 2019). For these reasons, a culturally sensitive workshop for monolingual Spanish speaking parents was developed. These issues are addressed and while providing information about what to expect during an initial IEP meeting. The workshop is intended to provide terminology, basic parent rights information, and IEP guidelines.

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 Characterizing Differences in Delivery of a Parent training Intervention for ASD to Hispanic and Non Hispanic Families to Inform Cultural Adaptation written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early intervention programs are one approach to addressing developmental concerns in young children at risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Programs that focus on training and coaching parents to utilize intervention strategies with their children in daily routines have demonstrated positive outcomes for both children and their parents. However, much of the current research in this area is focused on European-American families and it is unclear if the results can be generalized across families of different cultures. Cultural adaptations of current intervention programs may help increase participation and completion rates of these evidence-based programs. Current clinical practice can help inform what areas of existing programs may require cultural adaptation. The purpose of this study is to examine therapists’ delivery of the parent-training intervention Project ImPACT for Toddlers in community settings to both Hispanic and non-Hispanic families, in order to compare across these two populations and identify potential differences. Data analyses involved computation of descriptive statistics across all coding categories, as well as comparisons of codes between Hispanic versus non-Hispanic families via MANOVA. The findings demonstrate that therapists delivering Project ImPACT for Toddlers are not currently adapting the coaching structure of the program to address cultural differences between Hispanic and non-Hispanic families. Potential reasons for lack of adaptations are discussed.

Download or read book Barriers to Diagnosis and Treatment Services Faced by Latino Parents of Children with Autism written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that appears within the first three years of childhood and involves major impairments in all aspects of development including communication, social relationships, behavior, and sensory perception (Rutter, 1978). Parents who raise autistic children face unique and often painful challenges to the parenting role and family life (Dominique, Cutler, & Tarnaghan, 2000). Although epidemiological studies have demonstrated that autism can be found all over the world, research has almost primarily focused on Western and European primarily Caucasian populations which ignores minority groups (Fombonne, 2003; Seo-Gyeong, 1992). Research has demonstrated that immigrant Latino populations living in the United States experience numerous barriers to the acquisition of health care (Flores, Abreu, Olivar, & Kastner, 1998). The purpose of this study was to gain self-reported information regarding the current needs of Latino parents who have children with autism and identify specific barriers they report having experienced to the acquisition of diagnostic and treatment services for their children.Thirty Latina mothers and one Latino father of a child with autism were recruited from parent support groups and completed telephone interviews. The telephone interviews consisted of a family needs survey (Bailey & Simmeonsson, 1988), a demographic questionnaire, and a series of questions in their primary language. Results indicated that the participants in this study reported facing informational, language, and financial barriers to obtaining diagnostic and treatment services for their children. Parents reported that their children were receiving an average of almost 1 hour 30 minutes of therapy per week. Considering that most intervention approaches recommend as much as 30 hours per week of services, this study provides evidence that this population is underserved. The Latino parents in this study reported their most pressing needs were information about autism. The parents also reported numerous concerns such as current problem behaviors, lack of speech, and the lack of training and services in the professional community for children with autism. Parents also reported worries about the future of their child. Clinical and research implications for these findings are explored.
