Disseminating the F‐Words for Child Development to Parents of Children With Developmental Disabilities in Iran: A Qualitative Pilot Feasibility Study
Findings from the pilot study showed that the intervention had an impact on the attitudes and behaviours of participants. Specifically, teaching about the F-words reduced parents' emphasis on the concept of 'normality'. Families' positive response to the 'F-words Awareness Session' indicates their openness to incorporating this approach into their daily lives. These findings highlight the potential benefits of utilizing the F-words in rehabilitation in Iran. Studies like these can serve as a foundation for developing effective strategies for integrating the F-words into existing rehabilitation practices in Iran.
