Abstract
Globally, there is an increasing focus on interventions that are culturally relevant for children and families from diverse cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We conducted a scoping review to evaluate what populations have been included in the caregiver research related to established naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We also evaluated the extent to which these interventions have developed or adapted to be culturally relevant for use with caregivers of children with ASD using the Cultural Adaptation Checklist. Seventy studies met the inclusion criteria. Our review noted a paucity of research with diverse populations, and lack of description related to cultural adaptations of these interventions. Descriptions related to cultural adaptations tended to focus the least on persons, goals, and methods. Clinicians and researchers are encouraged to engage in cultural adaptations of interventions in consultations with communities in order to enhance interventions for culturally diverse groups.
期刊介绍:
The Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders publishes original articles that provide critical reviews of topics across the broad interdisciplinary research fields of autism spectrum disorders. Topics range from basic to applied and include but are not limited to genetics, neuroscience, diagnosis, applied behavior analysis, psychopharmacology, incidence, prevalence, etiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, measurement of treatment effects, education, perception and cognition. Topics across the life span are appropriate. In addition, given the high rates of comorbid conditions, the interface of sleep disorders, feeding problems, motor difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other disorders with autism spectrum disorders are appropriate. The Journal aims for an international audience as reflected in the editorial board.
