Abstract:
The present study examined parents' perceived programming needs of their children with mental retardation. Parents (44 mothers, 8 fathers) of individuals attending programming in an agency for mental retardation responded to a telephone survey. Analysis showed parents were most concerned about future housing needs. A significant difference was found between older and younger parents in their perception of future needs.
