Informing and Equipping Parents of People With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Although many resources are available for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), little is known about how likely these resources are utilized or how helpful they are perceived. The study surveyed 1,738 parents or caregivers of people with IDD about their familiarity and preference with IDD programs. Results revealed that parents and caregivers' familiarity with programs was limited and parents and caregivers desired to learn more information about IDD from official sources.
