Abstract
  • Grandparents are widely underrepresented throughout existing literature and underserved in access to resources tailored to their specific needs (Sánchez Gómez et al., 2021). This project aims to develop, implement and evaluate materials for grandparents of individuals with Down syndrome, including an informational resource guide and a support group. This project consisted of two phases. Phase I included semi-structured grandparent interviews that underwent thematic analysis to establish priorities/themes. Phase II focuses on creating, implementing, and evaluating the informational resource guide and the grandparent support group. Four main themes resulted from Phase I: support, information, the grandparent's role, and thoughts/feelings. The pre-post surveys administered in Phase II revealed significant changes indicating that the implementation of both interventions was successful. The continued implementation of both interventions has been recommended to DSI to increase grandparent access to information, support, and community. Keywords: grandparents, informational resource guide, support group, interviews, community resources
