This paper presents brief descriptive analyses of preliminary data gathered as part of a larger on-going project that explores quality of life in families who have one or more members with an intellectual disability. Sixty-four primary caregivers from the Greater Toronto Area were interviewed using the Family Quality of Life Survey (Brown et al., 2006). Families indicated strengths in certain life areas such as family relationships but reported challenges in other areas including support from outside the immediate family. Future research efforts and implications for service delivery and policy are discussed.
