Fathers’ Experiences of Parenting a Young Adult with Down Syndrome

Rebecca Piclet, a Clinical Psychologist has carried out a research project into fathers' experiences of parenting a young adult with Down Syndrome. At Sunshine & Smiles we helped Rebecca recruit people for the research project, and we are now able to share the outcomes of the project. We hope that they will be useful for those that took part but also other families.
