Bake i djedovi djece s teškoćama u razvoju i osoba s invaliditetom predstavljaju važan izvor podrške obiteljima s invaliditetom. Cilj je ovog rada predstaviti, sumirati i problematizirati znanstvene spoznaje o oblicima podrške koju bake i djedovi pružaju obiteljima djece s teškoćama u razvoju i osoba s invaliditetom, ali i formalnu podršku koja je njima potrebna. Oni pružaju različite oblike emocionalne, instrumentalne, informacijske i praktične podrške, a rezultat pružanje iste jest da oni sami imaju potrebe za informacijskom i emocionalnom podrškom. Stoga se može zaključiti kako su bake i djedovi važni izvori neformalne podrške obiteljima djece s teškoćama u razvoju i osoba s invaliditetom, dok oni sami često ostaju nevidljivi i zaboravljeni korisnici formalne podrške jer njihove potrebe ostaju nezadovoljene. Grandparents of children with developmental disabilities and persons with disabilities are an important source of support for families living with disabilities. The aim of this paper was to present knowledge about different types of support that grandparents of children with developmental disabilities and persons with disabilities provide to families living with disabilities, and to describe the formal support that is crucial for the grandparents. Grandparents provide different types of emotional, instrumental, informational and practical support, and in return they require informal and emotional support. The conclusion is that grandparents of children with developmental disabilities and persons with disabilities are an important source of informal support to families with disabilities, but their needs are very often unmet, making them invisible and neglected in the formal support system.
