Samenvatting
ABSTRACT
Background: Families with a child with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities have to manage the pervasive support needs of their child, which is a complex task. By properly supporting them, we can ensure these families live a positive and meaningful life.
Method: A product to support these families was developed using the method of Design Thinking, which included parents filling out three different questionnaires.
Results: It was found that parents preferred to be supported in strengthening their resilience and care capacity, specifically by improving the communication and (mutual) understanding between them and municipal government employees. An online training course for government employees was subsequently developed.
Conclusions: This study has led to the development of a product that can support families with a child with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities according to their needs and preferences. This study has also provided insights into how these parents prefer to be supported.
