To ensure that PSE programs are successful, ongoing evaluations are necessary. It is particularly important to gather parental perspectives given the integral role they play regarding decision making for students with ID. This qualitative study analyzed data from 58 interviews conducted with parents whose child was enrolled in a PSE program nested within a large public university. Thematic analysis with a deductive approach was the established theoretical model used to guide the analysis. Themes related to capability, opportunity, motivation, and behavior are presented, and future recommendations for PSE programs are discussed.

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 51-4 (April 2021) . - p.1281-1289 Titre : Mentoring Students with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Evaluation of Role-Specific Workshops for Mentors and Mentees Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rumi AGARWAL, Auteur ; Laura HERON, Auteur ; Mitra NASEH, Auteur ; Shanna L. BURKE, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1281-1289 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Developmental disability  Intellectual disability  Mentee  Mentor  Mentoring  Workshop Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Transitioning to post-secondary education is often challenging for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). To address this, Florida International University, specifically FIU Embrace, piloted the Embrace Mentoring Program (EMP), which provided unique role-specific workshops to both faculty/staff mentors, and student mentees with IDD. A mixed-method design was used to analyze knowledge acquisition and participant perceptions of the workshops. Quantitative findings indicated knowledge improvement in a key area for mentors, while qualitative data demonstrated a positive response to workshop content, and highlighted areas of improvement for future workshops. Ultimately, the results from the pilot EMP demonstrated promise in supporting students with IDD towards academic and career-related goals, by providing mentorship training to both mentors and mentees.
