“…Community activity leaders may be able to fill in service gaps, particularly in rural or remote communities (Test & Fowler, 2018); however, community activity leaders do not often receive training in supporting students with disabilities and may appreciate the insight of a special educator (e.g., Stewart-Ginsburg et al, 2020; Taylor-Winney et al, 2019). The special educator can consider how their expertise could be used to support the inclusion of a student in the preferred community activity.…”

“…Further, Black families often seek religious supports in lieu of more formal resources (e.g., mental health services) for a variety of situations (Avent et al, 2015; Avent Harris et al, 2019 Dempsey et al, 2016; Gourdine et al, 2011; Ward & Besson, 2012). Black pastors are considered counselors, advocates, and resources for Black families (Avent et al, 2015), but may not be prepared to support parents raising children with autism (Annandale & Carter, 2014; Stewart-Ginsburg et al, 2020).…”

Faith, spirituality, and religious involvement can promote stress-related coping for parents raising children with autism, yet little research has explored religious coping in Black parents raising children with autism. Given the high levels of religiosity and increased incidence of autism in Black families, the purpose of this qualitative study was to highlight perceptions of Black parents raising children with autism on mental health and religious coping within the context of a parent advocacy intervention efficacy study. We used a grounded theory method with structural coding of group session transcripts and written responses to center the voices of seven Black parents raising children with autism. Three significant findings emerged: (a) mental health conceptualization; (b) double disenfranchisement; and (c) communal coping.
