This study examines the impacts of virtual support group participation on the lives of Latin American families from two states in the U.S., who have a child with autism. The project, conducted during 2023-2024, assesses both practical and mental health outcomes for families involved in the support group, as well as factors influencing their attendance. The findings aim to address the current mental health and practical support needs of these families, with the goal of developing parent-mediated autism interventions tailored to Latin American communities. These interventions will focus on psychoeducation, mental health support, case management, and family navigation. The support group based in Virginia is ongoing, and results from the study are forthcoming. This research was supported by the UVA Supporting Transformative Autism Research Initiative and the Autism Society of Central Virginia.
