Fathers of young children with disabilities were surveyed to determine their amount of involvement in the daily care and training of their children. Data were also collected on the fathers' perceptions of their own training and resource needs. The results of the survey indicated that fathers of children with special needs are interested in their child's education. Fathers indicated their preference in types and format of services. Their top priorities were information about their child and available resources. Films and tapes were the most preferred format for receiving information. A parent newsletter was identified as an additional desired service. Implications for early childhood interventionists/child care providers are discussed.
