9-2 Final Project: Program Evaluation Paper
Southern New Hampshire University
PSY 632
The purpose of this paper is to acknowledge Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its
developmental delays while identifying specific programs and resources for individuals with this
diagnosis in which they can benefit from. ASD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can be
commonly defined by deficits in social communication and constrained interests and repetitive
behaviors. About 1 in 6 (17%) children aged 3–17 years were diagnosed with a developmental
disability, as reported by parents during a study period of 2009-2017 (CDC, 2020).
Autism spectrum disorder is an Atypical development that appears when a child delays in
specific areas in comparison to their average peer progression whether it be physical, cognitive,
or social. Individuals with ASD often have problems with social, emotional, and communication
skills (CDC, 2020) and may have unique methods of paying attention, learning, or reacting to
certain things. ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months or younger. By the age of 2, a
diagnosis by a skilled professional should be considered at this point.
Developmental Issue
Developmental Issue: Issue
There are several factors of ASD in children which is frequently complemented by
medical issues including; gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, seizures or sleep disorders, as well as
mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression and attention issues (Autism Society, 2016).
About 1 in 54 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to
,estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network
(CDC, 2020). Some individuals with ASD may experience a wide range of symptoms which
include having advanced conversation skills to being nonverbal.
This developmental disability causes differences inside the brain and can be identified by
early surveillance (collecting or gathering information) and testing (CDC, 2020). Some early
signs and symptoms of ASD may include; not responding to their name by 9 months old,
avoiding eye contact, has obsessive interests, repeats words or phrases over and over (echolalia),
is hyperactive, impulsive, and/or inattentive behavior (CDC, 2020).
Developmental Issue: Population
The occurrence of ASD in the United States is high and affects roughly 1 in 68 children.
A study that was done between the years of 2009-2017, stated that 17% of children ranging from
ages 3 to 17 years old were diagnosed with a developmental disability. Autism is said to affect 1
in 151 girls, and 1 in 37 boys and is usually present before the age of 3. It is also more prevalent
in boys than in girls. ASD is reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups
(CDC, 2020). The way one learns, problem solves, or thinks may be a bit challenging for a
person with ASD which can range from gifted to severely challenged.
Developmental Issue: Sociocultural Impact
The variations in cultural perceptions regarding human development affects how
individuals identify autism spectrum disorder. In many cultures, they often recognize symptoms
of ASD as part of the individuals’ personality. Being stubborn or lazy are examples of what a
child would be termed in substitute of understanding more deeper influences that are taking
, place. Some families may mistake ASD to avoid or deny that it exists instead of getting the
assistance required to support the individuals needs.
“Children from some ethnic minority groups, including those with foreign-born
mothers who were Black or Vietnamese and those with native-born mothers who
were Black or Latina, were more likely to present with ASD and concurrent
intellectual disability than were children with White American, native-born
mothers” (La Roche, Bush, & D’Angelo, 2018, p.110).
Other findings have indicated that the ethnic minority children, contrasted to White
American children, are identified with having ASD at considerably older ages in America.
Researchers have indicated that ethnic minority children are more prone “to be diagnosed with
ASD in the context of greater disruptive behaviors” as well (La Roche, et al., 2018, p.110). An
important approach to autism intervention is applied behavior analysis (ABA). Many
organizations, societies, and groups exist to better raise awareness for ASD. Some of the autism
organizations and support groups consist of; Autism Speaks, Madison House Autism Foundation,
The Autism Society, National Autism Society, and Autism Spectrum Disorder Foundation (ASD
Groups, 2018).
Theoretical Foundations
Theoretical Foundation: Contemporary Research
The evolution of Autism evolved from research about ten years ago when the frequency
of ASD was expected to be 1 in 88 children and “nearly 20 years ago, in 2000, it was estimated
to be one in 150 children” (La Roche, Bush, D’Angelo, 2018, p.108). From the 1970s through
the 1980s, estimations were declared to be much lesser then today’s, and this indicates that
