Devender R. Banda; Stacy L. Carter; The Nguyen
International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v70 n5 p857-864 2024
Parents have long been concerned with the transition to adulthood of their children with intellectual and developmental disability (IDD) particularly with financial issues. The purpose of this study was to explore the financial concerns of mothers of adults with IDD. Five mothers of adults with IDD participated in a focus group to share their experiences, opinions, concerns, and challenges related to finances. Five themes emerged from the qualitative data analysis: (a) job-related difficulties; (b) living expenses; (c) access to essential services; (d), skills deficits and/or challenging behavior; and (e) long-term care. Mothers in general indicated tremendous financial burdens, loss of income, and expressed concerns about long-term care of their children with IDD. These themes are discussed and implications for practice and research are provided.
