Source: University of British Columbia.
"The primary purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding and describe the unique experience of raising a child with a disability or developmental delay when the family lives in a rural or remote community, from the perspective of the parent."

"Symbolic interactionism theory served as the framework for the study that used ethnographic methodology to explore the experiences of parents in the distinct culture of rural and remote communities. Data collection included two face-to-face semi-structured interviews with eight parents living in four rural communities in BC. Data were categorized, and analyzed using a systematic approach."
