Introduction
In 1999, the Ohio Department of Aging developed a grant proposal in partnership with the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (ODMRDD) and the Ohio Developmental Disabilities Council (ODDC) to address family support issues for families of older parents who have adult children with developmental disabilities.
Funding was subsequently awarded by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities for the “Double Jeopardy” project to support families in planning for a secure future for their children with developmental disabilities as well as their aging parents.
One aspect of the project’s activities was to conduct focus groups for the purpose of gathering information from program administrators, staff and family members that would contribute to the design and implementation of other project activities. Download the report below for a summary of the findings from these focus groups.
