520 | |a This report describes a national survey of organizations of and for parents of children and adolescents with serious emotional disabilities. The telephone survey located 207 parent organizations of which 26.7 percent were publicly affiliated and 72.9 percent were either private, non-profit, or informally organized. About 54 percent were part of national organizations and 42.5 percent were affiliated with state or local organizations. Organizations were located in all but three states. Almost all (99 percent) of the organizations provided information/education services, parent training (88.9 percent) and advocacy activities (85.5 percent). Most provided direct assistance (79.2 percent) and support groups (63.3 percent). Approximately 95 percent provided services to professionals. Programmatic difficulties identified included involving parents and developing leadership. Most organizations found it easier to establish working relationships with local than with state level agencies. The average age of the organizations was 14.2 years (though 27.1 percent had been established in the 4 years prior to the study). Service delivery issues were identified in the areas of service comprehensiveness, service quantity, interagency coordination, and access to services. Tables and figures detail the findings. Survey forms are appended. (DB) | ||
