“…Services should allocate more time for in‐depth information and introduction of legislation for all parents, especially for those who come from distant urban settlements or towns, are unemployed or socially isolated, and have fewer opportunities for informal and self‐directed learning (Finn & Sturmey, ; Pretis, ). Important aspects of professional work are also education and skill training of parents of children with disabilities and supporting them with practical coping strategies (Gardiner & Iarocci, ).…”

The main goal of the study was to provide and contrast data on quality of life for families in Slovenia that have children with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities (IDD) and families that have children with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The sample comprised 25 families with children with IDD and 19 families with children with ASD selected from schools in several villages in Slovenia. The data were collected using the FQOLS-2006. The data analysis exploring the relationship between the two study groups (IDD and ASD) using the six measurement dimensions (Importance, Attainment, Satisfaction, Opportunities, Initiative, Stability) showed the mean ratings for all six measurement dimensions were higher for the IDD group than for the ASD group, although both groups rated Importance quite highly. Within the nine domains examined, there were some differences between the two groups. For the two main outcome measures, Attainment and Satisfaction, the scores for Satisfaction were consistently higher for the IDD group than for the ASD group. A combination of qualitative and quantitative data revealed that two of the nine domains, Family Relationships and Community Interaction, appear to contribute positively to family quality of life for both groups in this sample, while family life relating to the other seven domains requires remediation. Data from this family quality of life study provides evidence to suggest to policy makers and service providers that there might be a substantial amount of work to be done in the future to provide appropriate and efficient support for families with children with disabilities, especially for those with ASD, so that these families can lead lives of quality.

“…Regarding the satisfaction dimension measuring the satisfaction of children with early treatment and rehabilitation treatment, parents generally positively affirmed their "satisfaction with hospital rehabilitation treatment equipment, environment, professional competence, and overall service" [8]. Regarding the professional field of early treatment and rehabilitation, after rehabilitation physicians issue their rehabilitation treatment prescription, as based on their professional diagnosis according to the child's developmental delay, the required rehabilitation physicians, and physical, functional, and speech therapists execute the treatment for the professional rehabilitation of children [6,34]. During treatment, the therapist of the relevant profession must design a rehabilitation treatment course in line with the child's case, as prescribed by the physicians, and the child can learn from these rehabilitation treatment courses to reduce or slow the degree of developmental delay.…”

Early treatment and rehabilitation medical service is one of the important items in rehabilitation medicine. The service quality is critical for developing organizational sustainability. Therefore, the key success factors for the quality of such services are worthy of study. The main focus of this study is to explore the key success factors of the quality of early treatment and rehabilitation medical service in Taiwan. This study adopted an expert questionnaire for professional therapists related to rehabilitation care in Taiwan, and developed a total of 5 evaluation dimensions and 17 key success factors according to the concept of SERVQUAL. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method was used to analyze the expert questionnaires. The research results show that reliability is the most important dimension to construct quality early treatment and rehabilitation medical services. The seven key success factors affecting the quality of early treatment and rehabilitation medical services are in the order of “Professional treatment meets the needs of the case”, “Therapists have professional knowledge and skills”, “Professionalism gives parents and the case confidence”, “Professional advice can be understood by parents”, “The treatment equipment is consistent with the treatment provided by the therapists”, “Provide professional treatment in a timely and appropriate manner”, and “Therapists are enthusiastic and professional in handling case problems”. The practical implications of the research findings are also discussed in the study.

“…Over the past few decades ample research has addressed the role of parents in the support of children with special health needs, developmental problems, or intellectual or other disabilities (e.g., De Geeter, Poppes, & Vlaskamp, 2002;Hubert, 2011;Pretis, 2011). More specifically, collaboration or partnership between parents and professionals has received a great deal of attention (Blue-Banning, Summers, Frankland, Nelson, & Beegle, 2004;Dale, 1996;Dunst, Trivette, Davis, & Cornwell, 1988).…”

Background: The aim of this study was to explore agreements in the way parents of a person with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities and professionals perceive the support in terms of its family-centredness in order to gain a better understanding of their collaboration. Method: An adapted version of the Dutch Measure of Processes of Care was completed by 109 parents, and an adapted version of the Dutch Measure of Processes of Care for service providers was completed by 144 professionals. Agreements between parents and professionals were analysed using multilevel analysis. Results: In general, the parents and the professionals disagreed on occurrence and importance of both the Enabling and Partnership scale and the Respectful and Supportive Care scale. Conclusion:In order to deliver family-centred support, service providers should be aware that there are disagreements between the parents' perception of what is important in the support provided and the perception of the professional.
