Parent to Parent Programs: Parent Preferences for Support.

Santelli, Betsy; And Others

Infants and Young Children, v9 n1 p53-62 Jul 1996

A national survey of parents (n=240) newly referred to Parent to Parent programs was conducted. These programs match an experienced parent of a special needs child in a one-to-one relationship with a newly referred parent. Newly referred parents preferred a wide range of supports, with the child's age and severity of disability affecting the need for individualized supports. (DB)
