Parental Entrepreneurship: A Consumerist Response to Professional Dominance.
Darling, Rosalyn Benjamin
Journal of Social Issues, v44 n1 p141-58 Spr 1988
Interviews, from a symbolic interactionist perspective, reveal that parental activism, which involves seeking information and control and challenging authority, is viewed as a response to the failure of society to meet the needs of disabled children and their families. Parental activism may result in a careerlike pattern. (Author/BJV)
