Parent Support Groups. Revised.
Duganne-Glicksman, Mary Ann
This document presents one module in a set of training resources for trainers to use with parents and/or professionals serving children with disabilities; focus is on parent support groups. The modules stress content and activities that build skills and offer resources to promote parent-professional collaboration. Each module takes about 2 hours to deliver. The module guide has eight sections: a publicity flyer, topic narrative, overview, trainer agenda, activities, summary, bibliography, and evaluation. Introductory information explains how to use the modules including conducting a needs assessment, planning the training, selecting the training module, implementation, evaluation, and followup. Objectives of this module are: (1) become familiar with the history and current concepts of parent support groups, (2) recognize the benefits of belonging to a parent support group, (3) identify some functions of a parent support group, (4) identify the elements of successful parent support groups, and (5) develop an initial plan of action to establish and/or maintain a parent support group.
