Abstract
Parent-led support groups for parents who have children with disabilities are voluntary organizations with goals to provide social support and information and to foster advocacy. The purpose of this study was to explore parents' perceptions of the effect of parent-led support groups in providing parents with support and knowledge and in improving parents' ability to deal with childhood disability issues. Qualitative methods were used to examine the experiences of members of nine parent-run support groups. From these groups, 20 parents were interviewed about the benefits and limitations of participation in support group. Information was also collected by observing support group meetings and reviewing group documents. Interview, observation, and document data were analysed to identify emerging themes. Results of the study indicated that the effects of belonging to a parent-led parent support group were substantial. Through these groups, parents gain increased skills, an increased sense of power and a sense of belonging. Participants are able to connect with each other and provide support and skills to deal with the day-to-day issues of raising a child with disabilities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
