Accessing early diagnostic assessment and treatment for children with ASD continues to be extremely challenging for families of lower economic status, immigrant families, and families of color. Strategies to address some of the disparities will be discussed, such as educational community engagement, advocacy training, support for marginalized families and interprofessional collaboration to increase knowledge and awareness in order to access early diagnosis and critical evidence-based treatment.
