A study conducted at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, examined access to early intervention services for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study found that only 50% of the children evaluated for ASD had accessed Part C Early Intervention services, which are federally funded interventions for children birth-to-three with developmental delays. The research also revealed that children who identified as Black had decreased odds of accessing these services compared to those who identified as White. These findings suggest that there are disparities in accessing early intervention services that may negatively impact the Black autistic community. [Extracted from the article] |
