DESCRIPTION:Date:&nbsp\;September 19\, 2019\nTime:&nbsp\;4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p
 .m. EST\n\nHighlighting Efforts to Support Underrepresented Families of Ch
 ildren with Autism through a Community-Engaged Program\n\n\n\n\n\nContent 
 Overview:\n\nWe know that early identification of autism is crucial\, as i
 t enables children to access and participate in evidence-based interventio
 ns and services that\, in turn\, have been linked to improved long-term ou
 tcomes (Bruder\, 2010\; Irvin et al.\, 2012). African American and Latino 
 children\, however\, are less likely to be diagnosed with autism than Euro
 pean American children (CDC\, 2016) and are more likely to be misdiagnosed
  or go unidentified years after the onset of symptoms (Hilton et al.\, 201
 0\; Mandell et al.\, 2009).&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\n\nIn an effort to address dispa
 rities in access to services and supports for underrepresented families of
  children with autism\, Dr. Jamie Pearson developed and piloted the FACES 
 (Fostering Advocacy\, Communication\, Empowerment\, and Supports) parent t
 raining program. FACES is a face-to-face parent training and advocacy prog
 ram that is delivered across 18-24 hours of training and instruction.&nbsp
 \;\n\nObjectives: Following this webinar\, participants will be able to:\n
 \n1. Describe the disparities in autism diagnoses and access to services t
 hat exist among underrepresented families of children with autism.\n2. Ide
 ntify ways that practitioners\, special educators\, and healthcare provide
 rs can support families of children with autism via community-engaged acti
 vities.\n3. Identify strategies that facilitate ongoing communication and 
 collaboration between parents and providers.\n4. Develop a plan to reach u
 nderrepresented families of children with autism in their own communities.
