“Being Integrated Does Not Mean Being Included”: What Factors Contribute to School Exclusion for Autistic Children? / Margaret SCHNEIDER in Autism Research, 18-9 (September 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 18-9 (September 2025) . - p.1851-1860 Titre : “Being Integrated Does Not Mean Being Included”: What Factors Contribute to School Exclusion for Autistic Children? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Margaret SCHNEIDER, Auteur ; Vanessa C. FONG, Auteur ; Janet MCLAUGHLIN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1851-1860 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : bullying  individual education plan  qualitative  quantitative  school exclusion Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Autistic students face a heightened risk of exclusion from school and related activities, yet the factors contributing to this issue remain poorly understood. To address this gap, the current study took place in Ontario, Canada's largest province, where diverse populations and varied inclusive education policies create unique challenges. The study had two primary objectives: (1) to examine the relationship between parent satisfaction with the individual education plan (IEP) process and school exclusion, and (2) to identify key factors parents perceive as predictors of school exclusion in their autistic children. A total of 412 caregivers from Ontario completed an online survey, available in English and French, between April and July 2018. Quantitative analysis revealed that greater satisfaction with the IEP process was associated with a lower likelihood of school exclusion (b=0.297, OR=0.743, p=0.001). Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses identified two primary contributors to exclusion: bullying by peers and inadequate training and support for school staff. These findings highlight the need for improved supports in educational settings, including comprehensive anti-bullying initiatives, stronger collaboration with parents in the development of IEPs, greater accountability in ensuring that IEPs are properly implemented, a more inclusive approach to meeting student needs, and increased funding for support staff. Addressing these areas could help reduce the risk of exclusion and foster a more equitable learning environment for autistic students.

A community-engaged approach to examining barriers and facilitators to accessing autism services in Korean immigrant families / Vanessa C. FONG in Autism, 26-2 (February 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 26-2 (February 2022) . - p.525-537 Titre : A community-engaged approach to examining barriers and facilitators to accessing autism services in Korean immigrant families Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Vanessa C. FONG, Auteur ; Bo Sang LEE, Auteur ; Grace IAROCCI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.525-537 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorders  community engagement  education services  family functioning and support  policy  qualitative research  social services  of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this  article. Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Perceptions and experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse groups in accessing autism services in Canada are extremely limited. Thus, this study partnered with a community member to explore Korean immigrant parents' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to accessing autism services in British Columbia, Canada. Interviews were conducted with 20 Korean parents of autistic children. Barriers and facilitators at the system, provider, and family/cultural level were identified. Barriers at the system level included delays and waitlists for services, and ineffective school policies to address child behavioral challenges. At the provider level, barriers included a lack of qualified professionals, negative attitudes, and lack of guidance navigating services. For family/cultural-related barriers, these included language and communication difficulties, out-of-pocket costs, and stigma impeded service access. Facilitators at the system level included family-centered care and prioritization of mental health supports. At the provider level, strengths included culturally competent and bilingual professionals. The family/cultural-related facilitators identified were informal support networks, characteristics of the parent, and connections to cultural community organizations. The findings emphasize the need to understand and consider diverse experiences, preferences, and values in the design and provision of autism services for families and their children.

Cross-cultural perspectives on the meaning of family quality of life: Comparing Korean immigrant families and Canadian families of children with autism spectrum disorder / Vanessa C. FONG in Autism, 25-5 (July 2021)

Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study was to compare Korean immigrant families and Canadian families of children with autism in their perceptions and definitions of family quality of life. Interviews were done with 13 Korean immigrant parents and 12 Canadian parents of children with autism living in BC, Canada. For Korean immigrant families, three themes were identified: family cohesiveness, value orientation, and acceptance from society. For Canadian families, themes comprising family interactions, support, emotional well-being, individual characteristics, and comparisons to other families were essential elements in defining their family quality of life. The findings emphasize how differences in culture may impact how we understand and assess family functioning and quality of life. If research informing the development of these tools lacks cross-cultural perspectives, service providers and professionals may fail to address these families' unique needs.
