Anglo-Latino differences in parental concerns and service inequities for children at risk of autism spectrum disorder / Jan BLACHER in Autism, 23-6 (August 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-6 (August 2019) . - p.1554-1562 Titre : Anglo-Latino differences in parental concerns and service inequities for children at risk of autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Jan BLACHER, Auteur ; K. STAVROPOULOS, Auteur ; Yasamine BOLOURIAN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1554-1562 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  culture  screening Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In an evaluation of Anglo and Latina mothers and their children at risk of autism, this study compared mother-reported child behavioral concerns to staff-observed symptoms of autism. Within Latina mothers, the impact of primary language (English/Spanish), mothers' education, and child age on ratings of developmental concerns was examined. Participants were 218 mothers (Anglo = 85; Latina = 133) of children referred to a no-cost autism screening clinic. Mothers reported on behavioral concerns, autism symptomology, and services received; children were administered the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule by certified staff. Results revealed that Anglo and Latino children did not differ by autism symptoms or classification. However, Anglo mothers reported significantly more concerns than Latina mothers. Within the Latina group, analyses revealed significant interaction effects of language and child age; Spanish-speaking mothers of preschoolers endorsed fewer concerns, while Spanish-speaking mothers of school-aged children endorsed more concerns. Despite these reports, Anglo children with a classification of autism spectrum disorder were receiving significantly more services than Latino children with autism spectrum disorder, suggesting early beginnings of a service divide as well as the need for improved parent education on child development and advocacy for Latino families.

Autism and the University Experience: Narratives from Students with Neurodevelopmental Disorders / Yasamine BOLOURIAN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 48-10 (October 2018)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 48-10 (October 2018) . - p.3330-3343 Titre : Autism and the University Experience: Narratives from Students with Neurodevelopmental Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yasamine BOLOURIAN, Auteur ; Sasha M. ZEEDYK, Auteur ; Jan BLACHER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3330-3343 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Emerging adults  ASD  ADHD  University student  Postsecondary education Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Relatively limited research has been devoted to understanding the postsecondary experience from the students’ perspectives. In the current study, individual interviews were conducted with university students with autism spectrum disorder (n?=?13) and students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (n?=?18) to investigate likely factors impeding meaningful postsecondary experiences. Through an iterative coding process, nine themes were identified, and direct narratives exemplifying each are included. Overall, both diagnostic groups reported significant social, emotional, and academic challenges within the university setting, although there were distinctions. Findings have direct applications to higher education initiatives, such as the development of programs to increase faculty awareness and to target the efforts of university disability centers in meeting the needs of students with neurodevelopmental disorders.

University life with ASD: Faculty knowledge and student needs / S. M. ZEEDYK in Autism, 23-3 (April 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 23-3 (April 2019) . - p.726-736 Titre : University life with ASD: Faculty knowledge and student needs Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : S. M. ZEEDYK, Auteur ; Yasamine BOLOURIAN, Auteur ; Jan BLACHER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.726-736 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : adulthood  autism spectrum disorder  college  mixed-methodology  postsecondary  university faculty Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Increasingly, young adults with autism spectrum disorder are attending 4-year universities. The transition to adulthood can be challenging for these students, and university life poses its own set of demands. The present article takes a mixed-methods approach by including two studies utilizing complementary methodologies. Through in-depth interviews with students with autism spectrum disorder ( n = 13) and college professors ( n = 18), the purpose of the first study was to evaluate the experiences and needs of college students with autism spectrum disorder and identify the knowledge that faculty members possessed about working with these students. Through survey methodology with a larger sample of faculty members ( n = 132), the purpose of the second study was to obtain more information about faculty knowledge of autism spectrum disorder, and to learn whether their pedagogical practices accommodated students with autism spectrum disorder. Findings revealed that autism is often an "invisible" disability on campuses, and there are many things that professors need to know with regard to working with these students in particular. Implications for practice are discussed.
