Olga Solomon, PhD, serves as Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of Southern California, where her work bridges medical anthropology and pediatric healthcare. She focuses on improving healthcare experiences for autistic children and their families, with particular attention to systemic disparities affecting racial and ethnic minority communities through community-engaged research methodologies. Her research centers on Autism Spectrum Disorder healthcare equity, examining how cultural, socioeconomic, and structural factors impact access to early intervention, diagnostic pathways, and treatment outcomes. Solomon employs ethnographic and narrative approaches to investigate parent-provider communication, community-based service navigation, and the social dimensions of conditions like sleep disorders, gastrointestinal issues, and obesity in autistic youth. Her work consistently highlights the intersection of disability studies with health services research. Analysis of Solomon's publication trajectory reveals sustained focus on racial and ethnic disparities in autism care, with increasing emphasis on community-academic partnerships and participatory methodologies. Her research spans clinical domains including pediatric obesity management, behavioral health interventions, and diagnostic processes, always contextualized within broader frameworks of health equity and social justice. Recent work demonstrates methodological innovation through mixed-methods approaches that center community perspectives.
