Transition to Adulthood: Perspectives of Korean Immigrant Parents of Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Kim, Irang; Dababnah, Sarah
Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals, v45 n3 p120-130 Aug 2022
As the United States grows more racially and ethnically diverse, Koreans have become one of the largest ethnic minority populations. We conducted this qualitative study to explore the perspectives of Korean immigrant parents about their child's future and the factors that shape those perspectives. We used modified grounded theory methods. Twenty Korean immigrant parents of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities participated in the study. Four themes emerged: navigating complicated and limited service systems, maintaining safety and relationships through work and higher education, ongoing parental care at home, and the need for culturally relevant adult services. We discuss implications for culturally responsive practice and inclusive research. [This manuscript was presented at the International Society for Autism Research Annual Meeting in May 2019.]
