Parents with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
This project seeks to understand the promising and best practices for supporting parents with intellectual disabilities in their parenting journeys.
It includes literature reviews, focus groups with parents with lived experiences and a survey of key informants (professionals who work to support parents with intellectual disabilities).
Parents with intellectual disabilities face many barriers to accessing effective supports and services designed to support thriving in their parenting role.
A review of research in this area may identify a nuanced understanding of common experiences, including potential barriers and facilitators to success and thriving.
