Behavioral
Health Services for Neurodiverse Children and their Families</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Colloquium Abstract: </b>Autism affects a
significant and
increasing segment of the child population in the United States: 1
in 36
children is estimated to have autism. Autism is a lifelong and
often complex
condition that is commonly characterized by issues with social
communication
and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Autism frequently
necessitates the use
of behavioral and other services to help optimize health for
children and their
families; however, many challenges exist to accessing quality
services. Relatedly,
parents of autistic children may experience elevated stress and
financial
strain. This presentation will highlight a secondary analysis
study using
caregiver strain data collected from U.S. and Canadian parents of
autistic children
enrolled in the Autism Treatment Network Registry Call Back Study.
Study
findings point to the importance of parent-mediated autism
interventions shown
to improve child adaptive functioning and quality of life, as well
as caregiver
strain. Still, many parent-mediated autism interventions have not
been culturally
tailored for Indigenous children and their families, a
historically underserved
population. This presentation, therefore, will also highlight
recent findings
from the Parents Taking Action for Diné (Navajo) Children with
Autism study,
which has adapted and piloted an evidence-based parent education
and training
program over the past four years using community-engaged research
methods. Implications
and future directions of this work for advancing equity in
behavioral health
services in historically underserved populations will be
discussed.</p>
