This article reports the results of a content analysis of focus group interviews of parents of children with developmental disabilities, emotional disorders, and technology-supported needs. Perspectives regarding special needs, crisis situations, and parent-professional relationships are discussed. Implications for policy and practice include targeting specific services, monitoring values of programs and staff, and minimizing system-induced crisis.
