'She misses the subtleties and I have to help - help to make the invisible visible': parents' role in supporting adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities with intimate relationships

Background: People with intellectual and developmental disabilities often need support to develop and maintain intimate relationships; however, little is known regarding the role of family carers in this area. Methods: Focus groups were conducted with 19 family members to explore the support they provide to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to find a potential partner and any support they may have to provide to support/develop an existing relationship.
