Upcoming years will see an increase in the number of parents with developmental disabilities who are raising their children and living independently within the community. It is essential that these children receive proper social, health, and educational services. In some cases, parents with developmental disabilities may be unable to organize these services for their children. Therefore, health care professionals may need to become involved, ensuring that these children receive the proper interventions. This article illustrates the case of a developmentally delayed young boy whose parents, as a result of their own developmental challenges, were unable to ensure that their child was receiving essential services. However, with the proper assessment and interventions implemented by a psychologist at a university graduate training clinic, the appropriate educational, psychological, and social services were received. The challenges of this case are discussed as well as improvements observed in this child over a 1-year period
