Culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) families of autistic children face unique challenges in accessing services that are appropriate for their cultures and languages. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the impact of training language on caregiver skill acquisition. Using behavioral skills training (BST) through telehealth, three Latino caregivers whose first language is Spanish were taught to implement two different behavioral protocols with their autistic children. For one protocol, BST was done in Spanish; for the other, BST was done in English. Overall, the training in each family’s first language was (1) more efficient at promoting the skill acquisition of both caregivers and children; (2) rated by caregivers as more socially valid, and (3) associated with higher levels of caregivers’ indices of personalismo, involvement, and happiness. Findings suggest that cultural adaptations may be necessary to provide more effective and enjoyable training for CLD families. |
