Host Ruben Navarrette interviews Dr. Kristina Lopez, PhD, Professor of Social Work. A graduate of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor with a degree in social work and psychology, Lopez explores disparities in early diagnosis and subsequent treatment of underserved children and their families with special emphasis on Latino/a children with autism. The two talk about how Latino families have come to understand autism, and how they take the news that their child might be on the autism spectrum. They also talk about what parents should do if they suspect a child may have some form of autism or another neurodivergent condition. Finally, they discuss the public schools and where they fall short in helping students with special needs.
