  • 摘要:

    This study examined parents’ perspectives, assessed longitudinally, on the period of transition for young adults with severe intellectual disability, across two time points. There were two groups of respondents, 152 primarily Anglo and 98 Hispanic parents. In-depth interviews on parent transition experiences and views indicated that respondents from both cultural groups would like their sons or daughters to be working in integrated environments, but realistically, see their young adults working in more restrictive settings. Hispanic families were significantly less likely to see the young adult moving out of the family home after finishing high-school, as compared to Anglo families. Hispanic families reported significantly more worries regarding their sons’ or daughters’ transition, less involvement in the transition planning process, and a greater desire to be more involved in transition. These findings were consistent across time. Implications for working with families during the transition period are discussed.
