iPads and apps have been shown to help address the needs of children with autism by providing visual supports, social tools, easy-to-use interfaces, and more. Studies have found benefits for children with autism using iPads and apps. While an organization granted iPads to over 800 families, there was high demand from more families. Libraries can help fill this need by offering apps for use in the library, providing curated app recommendations for parents, and incorporating apps into programming for children with autism.
This study examined differences in parenting stress levels between single-parent and two-parent households raising children with autism. The study found that while single-parent households reported similar levels of stress overall compared to two-parent households, social support was more strongly correlated with reduced stress for two-parent households. Additionally, two-parent households reported a greater reduction in stress levels over the course of an intervention program compared to single-parent households. This suggests that general social support may be less effective at reducing parenting stress for single parents of children with autism.
Late Autism Diagnosis: Latino Childrenclarygreen22
Late Autism Diagnosis: Latino Children
The document discusses that Latino children are often diagnosed with autism two years later than non-Hispanic children due to barriers like language differences and a lack of awareness about autism in Latino communities. Doctors have difficulty communicating with Spanish-speaking families and identifying autism risks. Not receiving an early diagnosis means that Latino children with autism do not get access to important early intervention services. The document recommends increasing the number of Spanish-speaking doctors, providing resources to families in Spanish, and spreading more awareness about autism in Latino communities.
In spite of investment in and prominent attention paid to racial and ethnic health care disparities, there still exist enormous disparities in the United States across multiple domains including access to care and use of services, prevention and population health, chronic diseases, health status and quality of care
This document summarizes a dissertation investigating potential disparities in the age of diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders between African American and White children. The study examines how caregiver factors such as empowerment levels, reactions to initial symptoms, and attributions of symptoms may impact the age at which children receive an ASD diagnosis. Using survey methods, 168 families reported on diagnostic factors, empowerment, and views of initial ASD symptoms. Results found no significant differences in age of diagnosis between racial groups, but found that severity of symptoms, caregiver worry about symptoms, and attributing symptoms to behavioral problems predicted an earlier age of diagnosis.

1) The document examines cross-cultural challenges in identifying and treating children with autism. Research shows that Latino and African American children are less likely to be diagnosed with autism and receive later diagnoses than white children.
2) Cultural norms and expectations can create barriers to accurate diagnosis by distorting the perceptions of parents, families, and professionals. All diagnostic tools are culturally loaded and may influence test results differently for various cultural groups.
3) Professionals can help address these issues by gaining a deeper understanding of cultural contexts, observing children in their natural environments, acknowledging their own biases, and facilitating open dialogue with parents.

Best Practices In Vocational Transition Assessment For Adults With AsdMargaret Kay
The document summarizes best practices in vocational transition assessment for adults with autism spectrum disorders. It discusses assessing strengths and weaknesses, using case studies to illustrate keys to finding appropriate jobs. The goals of transition assessment are to prepare students for participation in the adult world by evaluating interests, skills, and needed supports through a coordinated set of school and post-school activities. However, unemployment rates for autistic adults remain extremely high, calling for improved transition planning and support into integrated employment.
This document provides information about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) including its definition, characteristics, prevalence rates, differences in diagnosis among ethnic groups, and classroom strategies and accommodations for students with ASD. It defines ASD as a neurological disorder affecting social skills, communication, and restricted behaviors. Statistics are presented on the rising diagnosis rates in the US population as well as delays in diagnosis for African American and Hispanic children compared to white children, which may be due to cultural and socioeconomic factors. Suggested classroom strategies include visual schedules, structured environments, sensory accommodations, and individualized behavior plans.
The document presented research on nonverbal forms of communication for children with autism. It discussed various methods including American Sign Language, Picture Exchange Communication Systems (PECS), message boards, and voice output communication devices. The research found that no single method was most effective and that the best approach depends on the individual child's needs and abilities.
Art therapy can benefit children with autism by addressing behaviors, improving social skills, and allowing creative expression. It uses art-making to enhance well-being. Individual art therapy allows in-depth assessment and customization to a child's needs, while group art therapy fosters socialization through structured activities and modeling good behaviors. The goals are to improve communication, imagination, socialization and help the child develop abilities at their level through choice of materials.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a developmental disability affecting communication and social skills that is usually apparent before age 3. It includes conditions like Asperger's Syndrome and requires lifelong support. Characteristics include difficulties with social interaction, communication and repetitive behaviors. Educational adaptations focus on structure, routines, technology assistance and teaching social skills. Research continues on the causes and new treatment approaches to help those with autism achieve their full potential.
