This participatory action research study used an appreciative inquiry approach to explore the perceptions of both parents with developmental/intellectual disabilities (DD/ID) and the professionals who worked with them concerning gaps in the services, supports, training, education, policies, procedures, and practice. The research questions were: 1. What are the parent training/support experiences of parents diagnosed with developmental/intellectual disabilities? 2. What are the education, training, and service linking experiences of human service professionals who work with parents diagnosed with developmental/intellectual disabilities? The sample consisted of 16 participants: seven parents with DD/ID and nine professionals working with these parents. The data consisted of transcripts of semi-structured interviews and journal entries from the professionals. This study found that the lack of education and training for the professionals was problematic, and directly impacted deficiencies in service and support delivery. The professionals felt that some professionals often lacked cultural competency and sensitivity to handle the parents with DD/ID. The participants' responses suggest that there was a cultural gap between various social service agencies and the departments regarding thoughts, feelings, and perceptions about parents with a DD/ID and this may have caused the conflict from one person or system to another due to the lack of awareness and understanding with the professionals who worked in human service capacity at the service delivery level. The parents expressed that person-centered and individualized service plans would be helpful to tailor specific supports and services to the individual. For effective changes to come forth, the participants expressed that practitioners need to work to decrease the barriers. The professionals felt that the way to decrease the barriers was through examination of their own practice, and to receive appropriate training and education in order to provide best practices and adequate training to the parents diagnosed with DD/ID. The study highlights the need for communication improvement between the professionals and the parents with DD/ID, and illuminates that the communication between professionals and service providers is imperative to the success of the parents with DD/ID. The findings led to a plan of action. The goal was to develop the task force and assist the task force in establishing a plan on how to improve and fill the gaps to act in the direction of improved social change through involvement and teamwork. This study concluded with recommendations for future research.
