Abstract

Family is the element which can significantly affect the development of the potential of a child with intellectual disabilities, by monitoring both his/her attitude and his/her social-economic statute. The child with intellectual disabilities must be acknowledged and accepted as active member of the family in order to fully function within the family. Along with the other family members, the child must participate with equal rights in the decision-making process, receive responsibilities for tasks allocated to him/her, discover and maintain the family traditions and be encouraged to adopt positive attitudes to world and other people, susceptible to being benefits to him/her as well as to his/her family. This paper aims to implement a questionnaire addressed to parents in order to assess the efficiency of Young Athletes Programme and the involvement/support level, by the family, of the child with Down syndrome. Keywords: intellectual disabilities, family, involvement/support
