Abstract
The present study examined the effect of parental involvement in interdisciplinary team meetings in a residential institution for the mentally retarded. At random from records of annual evaluative conferences, two groups each of 55 residents were selected, one group having parents present and the other having no parents present at the staffing. Analysis of group differences was through univariate analysis of variance. When parents were present more staff members attended the staffing and more recommendations were proposed by the larger interdisciplinary team. The implications of these findings for the functioning of the interdisciplinary team were discussed.
