Unmet Needs: Child Care for Children with Autism in the United States
Guillermo Montes, Ph.D.
A comprehensive study of child care for families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the US. The study describes how the lack of trained child care providers results in severe impacts on parental employment and high levels of child care related stress both at home and at work. The study explores child care policymaking in the context of the US liberal welfare state model and calls for a fuller implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act on behalf of children with ASD in all child care environments.
