"It's Not My Journey, It's Theirs": Experiences of Part C Providers Screening for Autism
Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v56 n3 p719-729 2025
Purpose: Part C early intervention (EI) providers, including speech-language pathologists, are often involved in autism screening practices and discussing autism with families of toddlers. The purpose of this study was to understand EI providers' perspectives of screening for autism. Method: Using a phenomenological qualitative design, we explored EI providers' perspectives and experiences related to autism screening and engaging in conversations about autism with families. Results: Findings from semistructured interviews with EI providers revealed themes related to (a) experiences screening for autism and engaging in conversations about autism, (b) interactions with families during autism conversations, and (c) resources and supports for providers and families. Conclusion: Findings from this study have implications for professional development and policies surrounding screening for autism in Part C.
