A growing body of research in the United States identifies differences between children from diverse cultural, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds who have neurodevelopmental disabilities. There are differences in estimated prevalence; access to early identification, assessment and diagnosis; as well as access to various forms of intervention and treatment.
The latest edition in the bi-annual LEND Brief series provides information about how diverse communities view, understand, and experience Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. It showcases projects and programs that recognize dimensions of culture, socioeconomics, and language through the services and supports they deliver to children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and families.
Articles in this LEND Brief offer a range of topics and perspectives for families, service providers, educators, policymakers, researchers, and others. Published by the Minnesota LEND (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities) Program at the Institute.
