Parental Perceptions of Services to Children with Intellectual Disability.

Foreman, Philip J.; Neilands, Judith

Australia and New Zealand Journal of Developmental Disabilities, v17 n2 p249-58 1991

A survey of 123 parents of school-age children with intellectual disability in New South Wales, Australia, examined age of disclosure of the disability, information provided to parents, services recommended, services viewed as most "understanding" or "useful," and schooling. One-fourth of parents commented on deficiencies in service coordination and access. (Author/JDD)
