Abstract:
By 2055, Asian are projected to become the largest immigrant group in the US. However, studies showed that Asian immigrant parents face additional barriers when they access and utilize health and education services for their children with developmental disabilities (DD), compared to non-immigrant parents. This talk will focus on findings of two interrelated studies: 1) a meta-synthesis study focusing on Asian immigrant parents’ role enactment while supporting their children with DD in the US, and 2) a narrative study of five Chinese-speaking immigrant parents’ experiences of supporting their young adult child with DD transition from high school to adulthood.
