Implementation of an Informative Program for Parents of Adolescents With an Intellectual Disability
Following a large-scale survey conducted in Quebec, a group informative program was designed to meet the specific needs of parents of adolescents with an intellectual disability. The present study aims to determine the perception of group animators and managers in relation to the feasibility and usefulness of implementing this program as well as to identify the facilitators and barriers to its implementation within their services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight animators and managers. The findings show that the participants consider the implementation of this program in their community to be feasible as well as useful, particularly within primary care services. The group format would also allow parents to multiply the available sources of information and exchange among themselves.
