What this trial studies

This study evaluates the Parenting Young Children (PYC) program, designed specifically for parents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) who are at risk of neglecting their children. The program aims to provide tailored support to improve parenting skills and prevent child removal. The evaluation will include quantitative, process, and qualitative assessments to gather insights from both parents and children involved in the program. The study will be conducted across multiple centers, comparing the PYC program to standard treatment practices.
