AB  - OBJECTIVE: Parent knowledge about developmental disabilities (DDs) may facilitate 
      access to DD care; however, parents may vary in their knowledge and familiarity 
      with common DDs. This study aimed to assess racial/ethnic and language 
      differences in low-income families' familiarity, knowledge, and personal 
      experience with DDs. METHODS: We conducted a child development survey among 539 
      low-income parents of young children attending visits at the Special Supplemental 
      Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in 6 Oregon counties in 
      2015. Survey items assessed parent familiarity with early signs of DDs, 
      self-reported knowledge about DDs, and personal experience with a friend or 
      family member with a DD. Bivariable and multivariable analyses assessed 
      differences in outcomes among non-Latino white (white), Latino English-proficient 
      (Latino-EP), Latino limited-English-proficient (Latino-LEP), and non-Latino other 
      race English-proficient (other race) parents. RESULTS: Overall, parent 
      participants correctly identified 64.7% of early signs of DDs. White parents 
      correctly identified the most early signs, even after adjustment for 
      sociodemographic factors. Compared with white parents, Latino-LEP, Latino-EP, and 
      other race parents were less likely to have heard of prevalent DDs, such as 
      attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism, and less likely to have a 
      friend or family member with a DD. CONCLUSIONS: Low-income Latino-LEP and other 
      race parents have less familiarity or personal experience with DDs and are less 
      aware of early signs of DDs compared to low-income white parents. Study findings 
      suggest that interventions to reduce disparities in DD diagnosis and treatment 
      should include increasing information transfer to parents in racial/ethnic and 
      language minority communities.
