BURKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p. 3866-3877 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Although access to inclusive education should be available for all students with disabilities, the extant literature has focused mainly on access to Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) without addressing access to Sect. 504 of the American Rehabilitation Act. Over 1.38 million students are served by Sect. 504 in public schools, yet little is known about their experiences. Specifically, little is known about the experiences of families of autistic students with Sect. 504; given the heterogeneity of autism, it is likely that many autistic students qualify for Sect. 504 (and not IEPs). The purpose of the study was to explore the experiences of families of children with autism with access to Sect. 504 in school settings. Altogether, 23 families participated in individual interviews about their initial experiences accessing Sect. 504, their input into the Sect. 504 plan, and the implementation of the Sect. 504 plan. Some families reported positive experiences with Sect. 504. When positive experiences occurred, it was largely due to having supportive school professionals. Unfortunately, most participants reported negative experiences with access to Sect. 504 including the school being unwilling to provide accommodations. Implications for future research include the need to develop and test interventions to improve supports under Sect. 504.

Testing an Advocacy Program to Improve Service Access Among Latino Families of Autistic Youth: A Randomized Controlled Trial / Meghan M. BURKE in Autism Research, 18-8 (August 2025)

BURKE, Auteur ; Saury RAMOS-TORRES, Auteur ; Gabriela Herrera ESPINOSA, Auteur ; Ana Lucia HINCAPIE, Auteur ; Janeth ALEMAN-TOVAR, Auteur ; Rocio PEREZ, Auteur ; Consuelo PUENTE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1714-1724 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : advocacy  autism  Latino  services Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : ABSTRACT Families of transition-aged youth with autism often struggle to access services. Due to systemic barriers, Latino, Spanish-speaking families of autistic youth especially struggle to access services. One way to improve service access is through parent advocacy abilities (i.e., knowledge of adult services, advocacy abilities and comfort, empowerment). To improve parent advocacy abilities and, ultimately, service access, we conducted a randomized controlled trial to test the feasibility and efficacy of an advocacy program: ASISTIR (Apoyando a nueStros hIjo/as con autiSmo obTener servIcios de tRansición; Supporting our Children with Autism to Obtain Transition Services). Of the 30 participants who were retained for analyses, intervention (vs. waitlist-control) group participants demonstrated significant increases in knowledge about adult services, advocacy activities, advocacy skills and comfort, and empowerment. Further, intervention (vs. waitlist-control) group participants demonstrated significantly greater service access. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
