Overview
"This qualitative study explored cultural perspectives and needs of bilingual, Latinx caregivers with children on the autism spectrum through conversations, with their children's Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs). The purpose was to examine the perspectives of both of these groups, through dyadic interviews, and how they mutually informed one another. Two dyads (mothers and SLPs) participated, completing background questionnaires, dyadic interviews, and post-interview written reflections. Three main themes emerged from the qualitative analysis of the dyadic interviews: comunicación [communication], language, and challenge. Written reflections evidenced increased advocacy skills for the caregiver participants and heightened awareness regarding communication style for the SLP participants. The lived experiences revealed by all participants offer several implications: 1) the value of extended conversations between caregivers and service providers; 2) caregiver sacrifices; 3) importance of cultural sensitivity for SLPs; and 4) positive outcomes from online learning for children on the autism spectrum." -- Abstract
