Perceptions of Culturally Responsive Autism Supports: A Qualitative Case Study for Jewish American Parents

Researchers from the American College of Education are conducting a research study to explore Jewish American parents’ perceptions of the cultural and ethnic relevance of public education and treatment received by their children with a medical diagnosis of autism.

An exploration will address Jewish American parents with a child with autism’s perceptions of educational and social support services meeting their expectations for quality services and cultural needs. Communities serving special populations are comprised of programs and services to support neurodiverse children with disabilities from all cultural backgrounds.

Special needs communities may benefit from exploring cultural requirements specific to Jewish American parents raising a child with medically diagnosed autism.
