Psychoeducational Support for Parents of Children with Intellectual Disability: An Outcome Study.
Schultz, Cynthia L.; And Others
International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v40 n3 p205-16 1993
Caring for Parent Caregivers, an Australian support program to empower parents of children with intellectual disabilities and thereby strengthen family resources, was evaluated using quantitative and qualitative procedures. Program participants displayed less emotional distress than control group subjects; outcomes were positive for both mothers and fathers; and overall satisfaction with the program was very high.
