Background

Parent involvement in interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) provides parents with education about ASD diagnosis and treatment, improves parent-child interactions, and offers access to cost-effective resources. The Latinx population represents the fastest growing minority population in the United States and a growing percentage of children seeking ASD intervention services.

Aims

Identify factors that impact Latinx parent involvement in interventions for children with ASD as an example of cultural considerations for diverse families and communities.

Methods and procedures

In this conceptual overview, we synthesize literature on cultural considerations for intervention design/adaptation for Latinx families and parent involvement in interventions for children with ASD through the lens of the Ecological Validity Model.

Outcomes and results

Frameworks such as the Ecological Validity Model can be used when creating or adapting interventions for specific cultural groups. Parent-involved interventions for children with ASD in the Latinx community should consider language of intervention delivery, family make-up, community support, disability knowledge of the family, the therapeutic alliance, and methods of implementation.

Conclusions and implications

Incorporating cultural components into parent-involved interventions will best support intervention implementation and dissemination in diverse communities. Research is needed into the process and outcomes of intervention programs in order to increase understanding of how specific cultural dimensions impact participation in and efficacy of parent-involved interventions for Latinx families of children with ASD.

使用生态有效性模型调整拉丁裔社区自闭症谱系障碍儿童家长参与的干预措施：概念审查

 背景

家长参与自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 儿童的干预措施可以为家长提供有关 ASD 诊断和治疗的教育，改善亲子互动，并提供具有成本效益的资源。拉丁裔人口是美国增长最快的少数族裔人口，寻求自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 干预服务的儿童比例也在不断增加。

 目标

确定影响拉丁裔家长参与自闭症儿童干预措施的因素，作为不同家庭和社区文化考虑的一个例子。

 方法和程序

在这个概念概述中，我们通过生态有效性模型的视角，综合了关于拉丁裔家庭干预设计/适应的文化考虑因素以及家长参与自闭症儿童干预措施的文献。

 结果和成果

在为特定文化群体创建或调整干预措施时，可以使用生态有效性模型等框架。拉丁裔社区中家长参与的自闭症儿童干预措施应考虑干预措施的语言、家庭组成、社区支持、家庭的残疾知识、治疗联盟和实施方法。

结论和启示

将文化成分纳入家长参与的干预措施将最好地支持干预措施在不同社区的实施和传播。需要对干预计划的过程和结果进行研究，以加深对特定文化因素如何影响自闭症谱系障碍儿童拉丁裔家庭家长参与干预措施的参与和效果的了解。
