<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Colloquium title: </b>Advancing Equity in
Behavioral Health Services for Neurodiverse Children and their

<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>
