在向成年过渡的过程中，有效和文化上相关的支持对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）青年的家庭至关重要。有一个记录的程序开发和研究支持西班牙语拉丁美洲家庭在这个生命阶段的缺乏。目前的工作描述了一个以证据为基础的过渡计划，为青少年ASD的拉丁美洲家庭的文化适应过程。在这种情况下，有意义地进行文化适应所需的行动的模型进行说明。在与五个讲西班牙语的家庭实施了名为Juntos en la Transicion的文化适应方案后，父母通过调查和访谈报告了该方案的高社会有效性。在这项工作中遵循的文化适应过程是非常重要的，以解决与ASD和他们的家庭的拉丁美洲青年的过渡需求的方案的进一步发展。我们的印象也可能是有用的，那些谁的目标是发展文化敏感和生态有效的多家庭群体干预计划的家庭从文化和语言少数群体。
During the transition to adulthood, effective and culturally relevant supports are critical for families of youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is a dearth of documented program development and research on supports for Spanish-speaking Latino families during this life stage. The present work describes the cultural adaptation process of an evidence-based transition program for Latino families of youth with ASD. A model of the actions necessary to meaningfully conduct a cultural adaptation in this context is described. After implementing the culturally adapted program titled Juntos en la Transicion with five Spanish-speaking families, parents reported high social validity of the program through surveys and interviews. The cultural adaptation process followed in this work is important for the further development of programs that address the transition needs of Latino youth with ASD and their families. Our impressions may also be useful to those who aim to develop culturally sensitive and ecologically valid multifamily group intervention programs for families from cultural and linguistic minority groups.
