家庭与专业人员的伙伴关系是智力和/或发育障碍儿童（包括自闭症谱系障碍）特殊教育过程的一个重要组成部分。拉丁裔家庭在参与其患缺碘症子女的教育决策时面临系统性障碍。很少有研究审查宣传培训在患有碘缺乏病（包括自闭症）儿童的拉丁裔家庭中的有效性。这项试点研究的目的是审查Familias Incluidas en Recibiendo Mejor Educacion Especial（FIRME）的有效性和可行性，FIRME是一项针对拉丁美洲缺碘症儿童家庭的宣传方案，涉及增加特殊教育知识、宣传、赋权和接受服务以及减少压力。在完成FIRME计划后，参与者表现出显着增加：特殊教育知识;宣传;和赋权。
Family-professional partnership is an essential component of the special education process for children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Latinx families face systemic barriers when participating in educational decision-making for their children with IDD. Few studies have examined the effectiveness of advocacy trainings among Latinx families of children with IDD, including ASD. The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effectiveness and feasibility of the Familias Incluidas en Recibiendo Mejor Educacion Especial (FIRME), an advocacy program for Latinx families of children with IDD, with respect to increasing special education knowledge, advocacy, empowerment, and receipt of services; and decreasing stress. After completing the FIRME program, participants demonstrated significantly increased: special education knowledge; advocacy; and empowerment.
