Caregivers of children with DD attending the Neurodevelopmental Clinic at Korle\u2010Bu Teaching Hospital were purposively selected. Data were collected through semi\u2010structured, in\u2010depth interviews until saturation was achieved with fourteen (14) participants. The interviews were conducted between October 2021 and January 2022, and data were analysed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four themes emerged: informational and training support, financial support, psychospiritual support and social support needs.
