  • 摘要:

    Family quality of life, a major issue for families of adults with developmental disabilities, has been under-examined by researchers. Utilizing interview data previously collected in one geographical region as part of a larger project, this secondary analysis explores service delivery as an important aspect of quality of life for families with adults who have developmental disabilities and are living at home. Employing a modified grounded theory approach, a finer-grained analysis of data from 10 interviews with family members revealed the following themes: (a) obstacles that families encounter when accessing services, (b) concerns about the future, (c) accepting additional responsibility, and (d) unmet service needs. Recommendations for service practice and future research based on the findings from the secondary analysis are discussed.
