This project examines the perspectives of parents of young children (birth to eight years) with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) related to the facilitators and challenges across three key time points: between first concerns and consulting with a professional, up through the diagnosis, and through entry into early intervention. Eight focus groups (4 English speaking, 2 Spanish speaking, 2 American Indian) were conducted with 55 caregivers. Results will be helpful in addressing needs of families of children with ASD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":492,"featured_media":2483,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[145,144,2,147],"tags":[97,56,149,151,95,39,150,66],"class_list":["post-2482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-children-families-development","category-comm-health-ed-wellness","category-news","category-research-tools-tech-methods","tag-betsy-crais","tag-children","tag-communities","tag-development","tag-elizabeth-crais","tag-families","tag-health-services","tag-stephen-r-hooper","odd"],"acf":[],"featured_image":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/888\/2018\/10\/1475093371276-image2.jpeg","featured_image_medium":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/888\/2018\/10\/1475093371276-image2-300x200.jpeg","featured_image_medium_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/888\/2018\/10\/1475093371276-image2.jpeg","featured_image_large":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/888\/2018\/10\/1475093371276-image2.jpeg","featured_image_thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/888\/2018\/10\/1475093371276-image2-150x150.jpeg","featured_image_alt":"","category_details":[{"name":"Children, Families, & Development","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/category\/news\/children-families-development\/"},{"name":"Community, Health, Education, & Wellness","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/category\/news\/comm-health-ed-wellness\/"},{"name":"News","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/category\/news\/"},{"name":"Research Tools, Technology, & Methodology","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/category\/news\/research-tools-tech-methods\/"}],"tag_details":[{"name":"Betsy Crais","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/tag\/betsy-crais\/"},{"name":"Children","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/tag\/children\/"},{"name":"Communities","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/tag\/communities\/"},{"name":"Development","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/tag\/development\/"},{"name":"Elizabeth Crais","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/tag\/elizabeth-crais\/"},{"name":"Families","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/tag\/families\/"},{"name":"Health Services","link":"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/healthsciences\/research\/tag\/health-services\/"},{"name":"Stephen R.
