A series of focus group meetings were held with African American, Chinese American, Haitian American, Hispanic/Latino American, Korean American, and select Native American communities. Cultural issues in caring for persons with a developmental disability were discussed. Differences were found in the following themes: (1) how disability is perceived, (2) who are the family, (3) who provides care, (4) how the family makes decisions, (5) what family members expect of each other, (6) what support families receive from friends and community, (7) \1'11:: the family moved, (8) cultural values important to family members, (9) family willingness to accept services from outside the family, (10) the family's first language, and (11) families' concerns about service providers. A range of adherence was observed as most prevalent among each of the cultures and across generations and age groups. Implications for the development and delivery of services are discussed.
