This is a scoping review driven by the broad research question: What are Latinx caregivers' specific facilitators and challenges, if any, in getting a timely diagnosis/identification for their child with autism? Our search resulted in 128 articles across various disciplines. A total of 43 articles were included in the final article set. Employing…

Amanda Gray – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This qualitative narrative study explored the perceptions of public-school general education teachers on the training they received for referring students to special education. Two key aspects of this were investigated: (1) navigating the special education referral process, and (2) using individualized interventions that are effective with African…

Hickey, Emily; Sheldrick, R. Christopher; Kuhn, Jocelyn; Broder-Fingert, Sarabeth – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
In 2016, the US Preventive Services Task Force concluded that there was "insufficient" ("I" statement) evidence to support universal primary care screening for autism spectrum disorder. The statement led to controversy among research and clinical communities. Although a number of papers have since been published arguing for the…

Williams, Marian E.; Harley, Eliza K.; Quebles, Irina; Poulsen, Marie Kanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder can be reliably diagnosed prior to age 2, and early, intensive intervention has been found to improve long-term outcomes. Nonetheless, most children with ASD do not receive a diagnosis until after age 3, with even later diagnoses for children from non-white ethnic groups. This study conducted telephone surveys with…

Most children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), in resource-limited settings (RLS), are diagnosed after the age of four. Our work confirmed and extended results of Pierce that eye tracking could discriminate between typically developing (TD) children and those with ASD. We demonstrated the initial 15 s was at least as discriminating as the…

Can genetic screening be used to personalize education for students? Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) screen an individual's DNA for specific variations in their genome, and how said variations relate to specific traits. The variations can then be assigned a corresponding weight and summed to produce polygenic scores (PGS) for given traits.…

Catts, Hugh W.; Petscher, Yaacov – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Considerable attention and legislation are currently focused on developmental dyslexia. A major challenge to these efforts is how to define and operationalize dyslexia. In this article, we argue that rather than defining dyslexia on the basis of an underlying condition, dyslexia is best viewed as a label for an unexpected reading disability. This…

Bang, Peter; Strömberg, Maria; Meera, Shoba S.; Igelström, Kajsa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of characteristics often observed in typically developing people with a genetic load for autism, such as parents of autistic children. The Broad Autism Phenotypic Questionnaire (BAPQ) is a 36-item questionnaire developed to identify the BAP in first-degree relatives of autistic people. We translated the…

This study examined special education numbers for public school populations of White, Black, and Hispanic students in New York State and factors hypothesized to contribute to identification and subsequent disproportionality of minority students in special education. Data from the Civil Rights Data Collection (CDRC), combined with data from the…

Objective: The goal of this study was to examine the experiences of women diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood. Methods: Benefits and costs associated with obtaining the diagnosis were examined in two focus groups conducted virtually. Factors hindering and facilitating the identification, assessment, and subsequent treatment of ADHD were also…

Purpose: Children from low socioeconomic environments (SEEs; i.e., families with parental education of high school or less and/or household income at or below federal poverty threshold) reportedly produce fewer vocabulary words compared to their higher SEE peers. However, whether that indicates a language delay or disorder is unclear since…

Camilla Nilvius; Linda Fälth; Heidi Selenius; Idor Svensson – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2025
Some Swedish schools do not identify and support students with reading difficulties efficiently enough during the first years at school. A longitudinal design was used to examine a multitiered RtI-model for identifying and supporting students at risk of reading difficulties in a Swedish school context. The results demonstrated that the RtI-model…

Objectives: Amidst the challenges due to the increase in autism cases, autism awareness in Indonesia remains limited, hindering effective identification, intervention, and inclusion. Contributing factors include a lack of professional training, inadequate assessment and evaluation practices, high service costs, persistent stigma, and insufficient…

Students who receive special education services are identified as having one of the 13 disabilities categories recognized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This identification allows for services such as educational, social-emotional, and/or behavioral supports. However, labeling students with a disability can also have…

Pathak, Siddhi; Sovani-Kelkar, Pallavi – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2023
Early identification of language delay is important as it has a serious impact on a child's life in terms of educational, social, and emotional development. Among the early language screening tools, there are some parent-administered tools; however, they are not culturally appropriate or freely available. This article documents the development and…
