Intellectual Disability, Families of Children with Intellectual Disabilities,Disclosure process, Best Practice, The Cork Implementation Project
In line with its strong traditional role as an advocate for people
with intellectual disability, the National Federation of Voluntary
Bodies developed a project which would make a real difference
to people with disabilities in Ireland, and particularly to their
families. Having consulted with families and people who work in
disability services, the National Federation identified the need to
develop National Best Practice Guidelines for Informing Families
of their Child’s Disability. The guidelines were launched in 2007.
