3. Résumé
«For these parents and those whose children received intensive services within the community, the caregiver experience presented greater challenges and may be perceived more negatively. As the results obtained in this study also showed that the negative aspects of the experience were related to lower adaptation by the parents, interventions based on beliefs, perceptions and the meaning given to the caregiver experience would be possible areas to look into to help the parents identify the positive and even negative aspects of this situation. Moreover, the fact of reconciling a caregiver role with a professional commitment was linked to positive aspects of the experience. This positive view may be partly based on the search for a balance between the different fulfilling social roles carried out by the parents. The positive experiences at work and the feelings of professional, personal and family accomplishments may have a positive mutual influence on the caregiver experience.» (p. 8)
