Accessibility and Barriers to Services for Children Experiencing Developmental Disabilities in the Asian Pacific Islander Community Dian Baker PhD(c), APRN-BC, PNP Elizabeth Miller, MD, PhD Michelle Dang, MSN, RN

Public Law Reach and serve individuals with developmental disabilities University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities New service center: Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities the UC Davis at MIND Institute- serving Northern California

Locating multiply marginalized communities Consumer groups –Rural areas –Urban population of underserved groups Data from Regional Center and Local School District Interviews with local community-based organizations

What was the issue? Typically lower than expected numbers from APIA population “underrepresented” –(6 % Regional Center/ 11 % of general population)* But within the APIA… –Disproportionate number of Hmong community members compared to other APIA members –However, after referral - low numbers of services accepted, no shows for IEPs –Sacramento County 7.3% APIA special education/ 13% of enrollment ( ) *California Regional Center Database 2007/ CA.rand.org)

Hmong in the U.S. Over 250,000 living in U.S.; but census count in probably low 60 to 80 thousand in California Majority to date (60%), still born outside U.S. and entry U.S. as refugees – recent waves in WAT camps Thailand

Researching the issue Social Determinants of Health Community-based Participatory Research

Work with rather than in the community

With the community, we decided that we needed more information about: the Hmong community’s perception of developmental disabilities and their view of support services for persons with developmental disabilities

Methods Exploratory, qualitative, focus groups- thematic analysis IRB approved UCDMC Involvement and partnership with Hmong Women’s Heritage Association Cultural Broker 1 st - Key Informants focus group (n= 7) Family members (n =10)

Results – Key Findings it is inappropriate to rely on governmental support services –related to cultural beliefs Significant barriers to services such as lack of accurate information that is understandable, language, transportation lack of trust lack of outreach All these factors interfered with the acceptance and utilization of available support services.

Self blame or ancestor blame I understand where this [developmental disability] came about and, uhm, the doctors can’t do anything about it because it’s something that I did. So, therefore I’m just gonna keep it the way it is and I think the beliefs kind of prevent the families from seeking help–

Limited outreach and understanding I know that my child goes to a special school because a special bus comes every morning to take her child to school, but I have no idea what kind of school it is and what kinds of services the school is providing my child because I do not speak or understand English and I have no way of communicating with the school staff.

Lack of advocacy and support I am trying to understand what the disability is. I mean, I’ve gone to IEP meetings and families are like this is, you know, it’s like they’re here to actually, you know, create the plan already and the family’s all I don’t even know what the disability my child has, you know, so.

Structural Factors – lack of access Not understanding IEP process Transportation Lack of insurance Not knowing how to get assistance Not enough money; can’t afford medical costs Even with information, not able to navigate system- too complex and confusing – feel inadequate

Community Assets Trust in local community-based agency that serve the Hmong community Strong desire to dispel myths about developmental disabilities and learn more Role of shamans Role of primary care provider/family doctor Having access to interpreters – (but not consistent)

Sample of Recommendations Education – culturally responsive Outreach - with service coordination and support over the long term – not just referral Need more provider time to develop trust Work with cultural brokers and community leaders

Next steps- Work together to remove the barriers Work with the community to develop –Outreach and education in small groups –Service coordination with active support and advocacy –Advocacy and education with providers –Monitoring of subgroups
