Findings from 2 studies investigating sources of variations in parents' assessment of help-giving practices and personal control appraisals are reported. A total of 280 parents of young children with disabilities or at-risk for poor developmental outcomes participated. Parents were involved in early intervention and human services programs that differed along a continuum from professionally centered to family focused. Demographic characteristics showed no relationship to either help-giving practices or perceptions of personal control. In contrast, program characteristics were highly related to help-giving practices, and both program characteristics and help-giving practices were highly related to personal control.
