The Use of Support Groups by Parents of Children with Dyslexia.
Bull, Leona
Early Child Development and Care, v173 n2-3 p341-47 Jun 2003
Interviewed parents of children with dyslexia to determine principal reasons for attending support groups. Identified: (1) information seekers attending support groups for education and research on their child's learning difficulties who integrated advice/information to offer educational/emotional support to their children; (2) parents attending as a result of professional recommendation only; and (3) emotional support seekers. Found that information-seeking parents reported greater satisfaction with support group experiences than other groups. (Author/KB)
