Research has provided valuable information on how support services in Northern Ireland can be targeted to meet the needs of disabled children and their families, some of which is based on the views of these children and their parents who are most able to identify the types of services they require. It is imperative that this knowledge is incorporated into the delivery and development of support services in Northern Ireland. Research suggests that parents experience poorly coordinated systems and inadequate services especially at particular stages, such as diagnosis or post-school transitions. Respite care services hold potential benefits for disabled children and their families but need to be more flexible, comprehensive, family based and focused on the needs and wishes of disabled children. There is a need to develop more integrated recreational, social and leisure opportunities for disabled children to help combat their social exclusion.

The Social Services inspectorate report "A jigsaw of services" made the point that the parenting support needs of disabled adults frequently fall between adult community care provision and children's services. Michele Wates carried out a survey to find out whether social services departments have policies/protocols in relation to providing services to parents with physical and sensory impairments and/or learning difficulties and, if so, how effective these are likely to be in meeting the needs of families. An analysis of the responses from 125 social services departments and of 31 policies/protocols provides the basis for these findings.
