  • Title: Group action planning as a support strategy for Hispanic families: parent and professional perspectives.
    Author: Blue-Banning MJ, Turnbull AP, Pereira L.
    Journal: Ment Retard; 2000 Jun; 38(3):262-75. PubMed ID: 10900934.
    Abstract:
    Focus group interviews were conducted to obtain participants' preliminary reactions to the responsiveness of group action planning, a person-centered planning approach, as a support strategy for Hispanic families of individuals with disabilities. Focus group participants were 38 Hispanic parents of youth/young adults with developmental disabilities and 22 professionals who provided support services to Hispanic youth/young adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Both constituency groups identified advantages and disadvantages of group action planning. We focus our key recommendations on the implications of this information for education and human service systems as well as directions for future research.
