This book was released on 2012 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this project was to write a grant to obtain funding for a program that provides advocacy services and information to 15 high-risk Latino families caring for children with autism from Harbor Regional Center. Participating families would commit to a 24-session empowerment program, specifically focusing on the importance and the potential outcomes of parent advocacy. The goal of this empowering program is to raise awareness about autism and advocacy so families can learn to navigate the system and seek the best services for their children on their own. The ability to develop a program that specifically focuses on this population has the potential of having a significant effect on the quality of life of children with autism and their families.
Book Synopsis Fuente de Soluciones Familiares by : Angelica Rodriguez
Download or read book Fuente de Soluciones Familiares written by Angelica Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this project was to design an effective counseling group with the goal of making education and treatment available in Spanish and with cultural considerations for Latino families of a child diagnosed with autism. A review of the literature has shown that health care disparities exist for many Latino families, often preventing them from receiving education on autism and treatment for family issues that emerge once a child has been diagnosed. Latino families who are not supported with services in their language are at higher risk for parental stress that can lead to negative mental health manifestations. Latino families can benefit from group counseling that is based on solution focused brief therapy. A ten week solution focused group called Fuente de Soluciones Familiares that includes a psychoeducational intervention is proposed to assist these families to explore information about autism, express their needs as a family unit, and discuss plans and strategies for the future."--Abstract, p. 1.
Book Synopsis Empowering Latino Parents: Advocating for Elementary Aged Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by : Crystal Maria Perez
Download or read book Empowering Latino Parents: Advocating for Elementary Aged Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) written by Crystal Maria Perez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the experiences that Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CLD) Latino parents of children with Autism have had in working with school systems. The sample consisted of 3 families with children in grades kindergarten through third grade. The parents interviewed in all families were mothers of male children with Autism. This case study used narrative research methods to examine the personal stories of Latino parents of elementary age students with ASD who are currently attending schools in urban communities predominantly composed of CLD families. Parents participated in two individual interviews and a platica, which were all composed of a structured series of questions. The data collected through these interviews and platica helped create a story for each participant. Additionally, educational documents acquired through the families were reviewed and analyzed. There were numerous factors found impacting the experiences of these Latina mothers. This study exposed that special education professionals need to improve the quality, consistency, and tactful approaches in collaboration with CLD Latino families. By investigating the perspectives and experiences these Latina mothers had, this aimed to describe specific occasions in which these parents felt marginalized and disengaged. Some of these factors included cultural differences, language barriers, available parent participation, lack of advocacy skills, and parent confidence level.

Book Synopsis Parenting Matters by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this project was to write a grant proposal to obtain funding for educational workshops. The workshops are about how to access community-based resources, navigate the service delivery systems and training on advocacy skills needed to access appropriate services. Targeted population will include 192 Latino parents and families of children with autism spectrum disorder or suspected developmental delays. The proposed program would be offered in the Family Resource Center at the Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic.

The actual submission and/or funding of this grant were not a requirement for the successful completion of this project.
Download or read book We're Not Broken written by Eric Garcia and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 2021 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is a message from autistic people to their parents, friends, teachers, coworkers and doctors showing what life is like on the spectrum. It's also my love letter to autistic people. For too long, we have been forced to navigate a world where all the road signs are written in another language." With a reporter's eye and an insider's perspective, Eric Garcia shows what it's like to be autistic across America. Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media's coverage of it; the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. His own life as an autistic person didn't look anything like that. He is Latino, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and works as a journalist covering politics in Washington D.C. Garcia realized he needed to put into writing what so many autistic people have been saying for years; autism is a part of their identity, they don't need to be fixed. In We're Not Broken, Garcia uses his own life as a springboard to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of all types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those in the LGBTQ community. In doing so, Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been the standard for far too long.
Book Synopsis Barriers to Diagnosis and Treatment Services Faced by Latino Parents of Children with Autism by :

This book was released on 2005 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that appears within the first three years of childhood and involves major impairments in all aspects of development including communication, social relationships, behavior, and sensory perception (Rutter, 1978). Parents who raise autistic children face unique and often painful challenges to the parenting role and family life (Dominique, Cutler, & Tarnaghan, 2000). Although epidemiological studies have demonstrated that autism can be found all over the world, research has almost primarily focused on Western and European primarily Caucasian populations which ignores minority groups (Fombonne, 2003; Seo-Gyeong, 1992). Research has demonstrated that immigrant Latino populations living in the United States experience numerous barriers to the acquisition of health care (Flores, Abreu, Olivar, & Kastner, 1998). The purpose of this study was to gain self-reported information regarding the current needs of Latino parents who have children with autism and identify specific barriers they report having experienced to the acquisition of diagnostic and treatment services for their children.Thirty Latina mothers and one Latino father of a child with autism were recruited from parent support groups and completed telephone interviews. The telephone interviews consisted of a family needs survey (Bailey & Simmeonsson, 1988), a demographic questionnaire, and a series of questions in their primary language. Results indicated that the participants in this study reported facing informational, language, and financial barriers to obtaining diagnostic and treatment services for their children. Parents reported that their children were receiving an average of almost 1 hour 30 minutes of therapy per week. Considering that most intervention approaches recommend as much as 30 hours per week of services, this study provides evidence that this population is underserved. The Latino parents in this study reported their most pressing needs were information about autism. The parents also reported numerous concerns such as current problem behaviors, lack of speech, and the lack of training and services in the professional community for children with autism. Parents also reported worries about the future of their child. Clinical and research implications for these findings are explored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this project was to partner with a host agency, locate a potential funding source, and write a grant to fund Better Parents in Control or Mejores Padres en Control. This will target Latino families who are at-risk of child maltreatment and to obtain information on preventions from having a future case within Department of Children and Family Services. The services will be delivered at Olive Crest in Los Angeles. The literature review was developed to support Latino families and their parenting styles, prevention services, and how to break the cycle amongst child maltreatment. The purpose of Better Parents in Control or in Spanish Mejores Padres en Control is to educate Latino families on cultural awareness, child abuse laws, and parenting techniques and be able to reduce child welfare service encounters. The actual funding or submission of this grant was not necessary for the successful of this project.
Book Synopsis Social Work in Health Settings by : Judith L.M. McCoyd
Download or read book Social Work in Health Settings written by Judith L.M. McCoyd and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-27 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully revised and expanded fifth edition of Social Work in Health Settings: Practice in Context maintains its use of the Practice-in-Context (PiC) decision-making framework to explore a wide range of social work services in healthcare settings. The PiC is updated in this edition to attend to social determinants of health and structural conditions. The PiC framework is applied in over 30 case chapters to reflect varied health and social care settings with multiple populations. Fully updated to reflect the landscape of healthcare provision in the US since the Affordable Care Act was reaffirmed in 2020, the cases are grounded by "primer" chapters to illustrate the necessary decisional and foundational skills for best practices in social work in health settings. The cases cover micro through macro level work with individuals, families, groups, and communities across the life course. The PiC framework helps maintain focus on each of the practice decisions a social worker must make when working with a variety of clients (including military veterans, refugees, LGBTQ+ clients). The ideal textbook for social work in healthcare and clinical social work classes, this thought-provoking volume thoroughly integrates social work theory and practice and provides an excellent opportunity for understanding particular techniques and interventions.

Book Synopsis Authoring Autism by : M. Remi Yergeau
Download or read book Authoring Autism written by M. Remi Yergeau and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Authoring Autism M. Remi Yergeau defines neurodivergence as an identity—neuroqueerness—rather than an impairment. Using a queer theory framework, Yergeau notes the stereotypes that deny autistic people their humanity and the chance to define themselves while also challenging cognitive studies scholarship and its reification of the neurological passivity of autistics. They also critique early intensive behavioral interventions—which have much in common with gay conversion therapy—and questions the ableist privileging of intentionality and diplomacy in rhetorical traditions. Using storying as their method, they present an alternative view of autistic rhetoricity by foregrounding the cunning rhetorical abilities of autistics and by framing autism as a narrative condition wherein autistics are the best-equipped people to define their experience. Contending that autism represents a queer way of being that simultaneously embraces and rejects the rhetorical, Yergeau shows how autistic people queer the lines of rhetoric, humanity, and agency. In so doing, they demonstrate how an autistic rhetoric requires the reconceptualization of rhetoric’s very essence.
