How do the lack of services impact families supporting adults with developmental disabilities living on reserves?

Families fulfill vital roles providing care, to their adult family members who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and live on-reserve within British Columbia. When looking at what impacts an Indigenous family’s ability to provide ongoing quality care the complex relationship among service need and services used is identified. There exist two world views about disability yet there remains only one system of care. This literature review examines who the services providers are and how their services impact families living on reserve.
