Project Description:

The purpose of this project is to examine Child Protective Services (CPS) investigations related to parenting with an intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD) in Washington State. Using a mixed methods design, researchers will try to answer the following questions: 1. What is the prevalence of CPS investigations of parents with I/DD at the birth of the child? 2. What reasons are listed for the investigation of reported abuse or neglect at the birth of the child? 3. What supports are available to parents with I/DD, beginning with the birth of the child? 4. What is the current science in supporting parents with I/DD beginning with the birth of the child?
