As the United States grows more racially and ethnically diverse, Koreans have become one of the largest ethnic minority populations. We conducted this qualitative study to explore the perspectives of Korean immigrant parents about their child’s future and the factors that shape those perspectives. We used modified grounded theory methods. Twenty Korean immigrant parents of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities participated in the study. Four themes emerged: navigating complicated and limited service systems, maintaining safety and relationships through work and higher education, ongoing parental care at home, and the need for culturally relevant adult services. We discuss implications for culturally responsive practice and inclusive research.

随着美国种族和民族的多元化，韩国人已成为最大的少数族裔人口之一。我们进行了这项定性研究，以探讨韩国移民父母对孩子未来的看法以及影响这些看法的因素。我们使用了改良的扎根理论方法。20 名有智力和发育障碍的儿童和成人的韩国移民父母参与了这项研究。出现了四个主题：驾驭复杂而有限的服务系统，通过工作和高等教育维持安全和人际关系，在家中持续进行父母护理，以及对与文化相关的成人服务的需求。我们讨论了对文化响应实践和包容性研究的影响。
