Research Experience(s):

Topic: Coping Styles in a Group of Diverse Families with a Young Child with Autism (Grant-Funded Research)

Investigators: Nurit Sheinberg, Tommie Boyd, Arlene Brett Gordon, Manny Gonzalez, Raymonde Dormezil Neal, and Danielle Norman

Mailman Segal Institute of NSU for Early Childhood Studies July 2010 – Present

The goal of this study is to begin an exploration of the coping patterns of a culturally diverse group of families that have a young child diagnosed with ASD. Specifically the study will aim to answer the following questions:

· What are the coping mechanisms that families of young children with autism use?

· What is the role of culture in shaping the coping strategies that parents use?

· Do parents’ notions of “parental competence” vary by culture?

· Do parents’ perceptions of self-efficacy, life satisfaction, parenting stress, autism knowledge, and impact of their child disability vary by culture?

· Does parents’ understanding of the etiology and symptomatology of autism vary by culture?

· Does parents’ culture affect access to intervention for children with autism?

Topic: Peer-facilitated social skills for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Investigators: Raymonde Dormezil Neal, Kelly Brown, and Tara Simone

Mailman Segal Institute of NSU for Early Childhood Studies January 2010 – Present

With increased integration of children with ASD in the classroom, understanding the best way to facilitate social skills development is crucial for the curriculum. Some research indicates that simply placing ASD children within the proximity of a typically developing child encourages development of social play behavior. Competing research indicates that integration of ASD children tends to lead to further isolation of the ASD child due to a lack of understanding on the part of the typical child, especially of stereotyped behaviors that are often exhibited by a child with ASD. This study aims to promote empathic social interactions between typical children and their peers with disabilities.
