PATHS
For Parents with Intellectual Disabilities (ID)
We are collaborating with Arizona home-visiting programs to improve access to high-quality parenting support for parents with intellectual disabilities.
4.1 million parents in the U. S. have disabilities (Li, Parish, Mitra & Nicholson, 2017).
Our focus is on supporting parents with intellectual disabilities who have children up to 5 years old.
Through this project, the IHD team will…
- Gather information about the evidence-based home-visiting programs currently utilized with Arizona families
- Collaborate with an advisory group to develop materials designed to enhance home-visiting services for parents with intellectual disabilities
- Design and provide training to Arizona home-visiting professionals on the utilization of the enhancement materials
Introduction to Intellectual Disability and Home Visiting
PATHS is hosting a series of educational seminars for home visitors and other community health workers. We will cover what Intellectual Disability (ID) is, common myths and challenges surrounding parenting with ID, and implications for home visitors serving parents with ID. Attending all three sessions is not required.
