The Croydon workshop for parents of pre-school mentally handicapped children. 1978

T Attwood

A multidisciplinary team of professionals met the parents of 25 pre-school handicapped children for a series of evening meetings to discuss how professionals and parents can help the development of the child. The workshop was exceptionally well-attended by parents who received practical advice from both the professionals and other parents. Multidisciplinary parents workshops appear to be an effective community service for the parents of handicapped children.
