This critical integrative review identifies and synthesizes works investigating Indigenous perspectives on childhood, development, and disability, emphasizing its significance for professionals in healthcare, social services, and education. A critical integrative review of published works was completed. Five databases were consulted, and the search was supplemented by reference mining and peer and community consultation. Seventeen works met the inclusion criteria. Thematic analysis generated five cultural considerations for service providers working with Indigenous families: 1) the practice of communal child-rearing; 2) relational identities and the minimization of individual differences; 3) children as gifts and teachers; 4) balance and good relations as key to holistic health; and 5) respect for autonomous development. The reviewed works suggest several ways in which Indigenous perspectives on childhood disability might differ from those of many service providers embedded in Western biomedical education and health institutions. Highlighting these disparate views empowers professionals to reflect on how cultural differences could impact their work with Indigenous children and families and consider approaches that align with Indigenous values and ways of knowing. Implications for service delivery and inter-cultural collaboration are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities","volume":"38 2","pages":"357-390"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13090220/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147724210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many factors contribute to the siblings' well-being and mental health, and several studies have called for replicating their research with longitudinal data. In the present longitudinal study, the well-being and mental health of siblings of children with ID (the ID-group) or typical development (the comparison group) were investigated, considering family factors as mediating and moderating factors. Data were obtained from the Young Netherlands Twin Register, focusing on twins aged 5 to 12 years. Multilevel modelling was used to investigate effects on three sibling outcome measures: well-being, externalizing behavior, and internalizing behavior. The externalizing behavior of the index child (the child with ID in the ID-group; randomly chosen in the comparison group) mediated the relation between the intellectual status (ID vs. no ID) of the index child and their sibling's internalizing behavior. Index child externalizing behavior, parental well-being, and parental monitoring had significant effects on sibling outcomes. Maternal monitoring moderated the relation between the index child's externalizing behavior and their sibling's externalizing behavior. Thus, this longitudinal study confirms and nuances some previously reported relations concerning sibling outcomes. The results imply that it is important that care organizations use a family systems approach, especially when a child has externalizing behavior problems. This study shows that there are different ways to mitigate the impact of a child's externalizing behavior on their sibling, such as through improved parental monitoring.","PeriodicalId":47565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities","volume":"38 1","pages":"79-104"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12916542/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147272551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this pilot study, clinicians in a pediatric psychiatric emergency service were trained on community- and evidence-informed recommendations to improve suicide-related care for autistic youth and provided with resources to use with autistic youth for a 3-month period. Ratings on attitudes and confidence were obtained from ten providers before and after the training/implementation period and compared. Ratings of feasibility and utility of strategies and resources were obtained from 15 providers after training/implementation and analyzed. While no changes were found across attitudes items, confidence scores were significantly higher after the training/implementation period than before, particularly in the area of suicide risk assessment. Feasibility and utility ratings were generally high, with endorsement patterns aligning with common organizational and systems-level barriers. This pilot study demonstrated that targeted training and evidence-informed recommendations to improve suicide-related care for autistic youth were associated with increased clinician confidence. As research continues in the development of adapted suicide risk assessment tools and management strategies for autistic youth, it is important that both clinical guidance on best practices is provided and that systems-level barriers are addressed.","PeriodicalId":47565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities","volume":"38 2","pages":"317-327"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13090187/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147724191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, a paucity of studies has examined the association between parental protective factors and child outcomes. This study investigated the association between parental empowerment and resilience and the degree of internalizing and externalizing behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Data were collected through the the In Kaart register between September 2022 and February 2024. Children aged 5 to 15 years (M = 11.1, 32.9% female) with a diagnosis of ADHD and/or ASD were included. Parents (97.1% mothers) filled in questionnaires about their levels of resilience and empowerment, and about their children's behavioral problems. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that younger child age and higher levels of parental resilience were associated with more externalizing behaviors. Child age did not significantly moderate the relation between resilience and externalizing behaviors. Nevertheless, the pattern observed in the data suggested potential age-related differences in how parental resilience is associated with child behavior. The preliminary findings suggest that resilience might be a mechanism for adapting to increased parenting demands associated with raising a neurodivergent child with problem behaviors. Furthermore, parental empowerment may not be directly associated with child problems, giving room for future research to delve into other factors that play a role in the association between parental protective factors and child outcomes. The current findings highlight the need to examine this relation in larger, more diverse samples.","PeriodicalId":47565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities","volume":"38 1","pages":"165-180"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12916522/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147272508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acculturation and acculturative stress are particularly relevant in this population, as they navigate cultural adaptation while maintaining traditional values like familismo (family) and respeto (respect). These dynamics are further complicated by disparities in access to resources and culturally responsive interventions. This study explores the interplay of cultural values, acculturation, and acculturative stress among Latino emerging adults with ASD and their Spanish-speaking parents participating in a culturally adapted and translated intervention. Using a cross-sectional design, we examined data from 26 emerging adults (18-25 years old) and 38 of their parents, assessing cultural values, acculturation levels, acculturative stress, and outcomes. Findings revealed significant acculturative stress in both emerging adults and parents, particularly related to intercultural relations, language, and discrimination. Strong traditional cultural values, such as familismo and respeto, were prevalent and influenced family dynamics and adaptive functioning during the transition to adulthood. A divergence in acculturation levels was noted, with emerging adults displaying higher acculturation, especially in language and social relations. The findings have implications for understanding emerging adulthood and the development of culturally tailored interventions for Latino emerging adults and their parents.","PeriodicalId":47565,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities","volume":"37 6","pages":"1041-1072"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12851561/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146087673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we examined the responses of 45 Latino caregivers (primarily mothers) before completing a 12-week advocacy program. Results demonstrated significant positive correlations between comfort in advocating for services and their sense of empowerment. Greater proficiency with the English language positively correlated with advocacy skills and comfort.

A total of 81 practicing behavior analysts participated in an online survey that assessed their training experience, beliefs about choice, and reported practices regarding choice in ABA service delivery. The survey responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to compare beliefs and practices. Results showed that while most behavior analysts strongly agreed that choice should be incorporated into ABA services, discrepancies were observed between beliefs and actual practice regarding various factors that influence opportunities to make choices. Multiple barriers to providing choice-making opportunities were identified.
