“…Mothers who are primarily responsible for the child's care take a more active role and make more efforts in solving these difficulties. The level of depression increases in caregivers associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and acquired diseases (16,27). In this study, mothers' had similar levels of mild depressive symptoms in both groups.…”

“…The birth of a child with a disability or a diagnosis that leads to disability is a crisis that disrupts parents' expectations. After the diagnosis is verified, parents undergo many reactions and adaptations, such as shock, denial, anger, shame, anxiety, refusal, depression, grief, and acceptance (16). Understanding family adaptation to disability is crucial for promoting well-being in disabled children (4).…”

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the family impact of children with congenital and acquired brain injury, the levels of depression in mothers, and the factors that might affect family functioning. Methods:This study included 42 children with brain injury (20 congenital, 22 acquired) and their caregiver mothers. Impact on Family Scale (IFS) was used to evaluate family impact and the Beck Depression Inventory for the level of depression in the mothers. The Functional Oral Intake Scale for the status of oral intake of children. Results:This study illustrated that the levels of family impact (z=-1.161, p=0.246) and mothers' depression (z=-0.177, p=0.860) were similar in children with congenital and acquired brain injury. In this study, a relationship was found between the child's feeding position (z=-0.684, p=0.043) and family income level (z=5.981, p=0.046) with family impact. Conclusion:The family impact of having children with disabilities may be related to many factors. In order to understand this mechanism, future studies should be planned with a holistic approach. The results of these studies, provide information to be used in the development of interventions for parents of children with disabilities.Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, konjenital ve edinsel beyin hasarı olan çocukların aile etkilenimlerini, annelerin depresyon düzeylerini ve aile etkilenimlerini etkileyebilecek faktörleri araştırmaktı.Yöntem: Çalışmaya 42 beyin hasarı tanısı almış çocuk (20 konjenital, 22 edinsel) ve onlara bakım veren anneleri dahil edildi. Ailelerin etkilenimi ölçmek için Aile Etki Ölçeği (AEÖ) ve annelerin depresyon düzeyini belirlemek için Beck Depresyon Ölçeği kullanıldı. Çocukların oral alım durumları Fonksiyonel Oral Alım Skalası kullanılarak belirlendi. Sonuçlar: Çalışma konjenital ve edinsel beyin hasarı tanısı olan çocuklarda aile etkilenimini (z=-1,161, p=0,246) ve annelerin depresyon düzeylerinin (z=-0,177, p=0,860) benzer olduğunu gösterdi. Çalışmada ayrıca çocuğun beslenme pozisyonu (z=-0,684, p=0,043) ve ailenin gelir düzeyinin (z=5,981, p=0,046) aile etkilenimi ile ilişkisi olduğunu saptandı.Tartışma: Engelli çocuğa sahibi olmanın aile üzerindeki etkisi pek çok faktörle ilişkili olabilir. Bu mekanizmayı anlamak için gelecekteki çalışmaların holistik bir yaklaşımla planlanması gerekir. Bu çalışmaların sonuçları; engelli çocukların ailelerine yönelik müdahalelerin geliştirilmesinde kullanılacak bilgiler sağlayacaktır.

“…For example, both higher rates of bullying from typically developing peers (Lasher and Baker, 2015) and social determinants of poor health such as poor housing, poverty and social isolation add layers of complexity on to, at times, an already complex attachment story (Emerson and Brigham, 2014). Additionally, how families are able to respond to the loss of the 'healthy child' when their learning disability becomes apparent may also impact on attachment (Fletcher, 2016), as they may struggle to accept the needs of their child's actual ability. This may make it more challenging to notice the child's actual emotional and social needs and, in some instances, may lead to missed attachment opportunities (Schuengel et al, 2013).…”

People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to experience adverse childhood experiences than those in the general population. Additionally, the conceptualization of ‘trauma’ is far broader than traditionally understood in order to encompass the far reaching relational nature of people with intellectual disabilities traumatic experiences. This reflective account details the first steps one service took to embrace trauma-informed care as a whole systems approach. The paper is a response to calls following conference presentations about our work, to share the process of the beginning of this journey, it also aims to provide key learning points, practical considerations and questions for reflection in order to support other services to begin their own relationships with trauma-informed care.

“…It can be particularly challenging for parents of nonverbal children with learning disabilities to reflect on their child's needs, cues and miscues (Ayres, 2005). Some parents may experience having a child with learning disabilities as a “loss of the healthy child” which may elicit a grief reaction in parents (Fletcher, 2016). These factors may impact on the attachment relationship; however, research suggests most parents adapt and are able to adjust their expectations (Fletcher, 2016).…”

Accessible Summary The Circle of Security Parenting (COS‐P) programme can be helpful for some parents of children with learning disabilities to think about their relationship with their child. Parenting a child with learning disabilities is different, and COS‐P can highlight this difference. This can feel painful for parents and may stop them engaging with the programme. Abstract BackgroundBackground: The promotion of secure attachment relationships in childhood leads to better outcomes in later life (British Psychological Society 2017, Incorporating Attachment Theory into Practice: Clinical Practice Guideline for Clinical Psychologists Working with People who have Intellectual Disabilities). The Circle of Security Parenting Programme (COS‐P) provides a clear framework for reflecting on attachment relationships (Cooper et al 2009, Zero to Three, 37, 27). MethodsMethods: Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with parents of children with learning disabilities who attended a COS‐P programme to find out about their experiences of the course and how applicable it was to them. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. FindingsFindings: Four key themes were identified: these related to (1) COS‐P concepts are relevant to all children but (2) parenting a child with a learning disability is different and (3) COS‐P can create a focus on their child as different, which can be painful, and (4) changes recommended to make COS‐P suitable for parents of children with learning disabilities. ConclusionsConclusions: This paper outlines the benefits and challenges of COS‐P in sharing concepts related to attachment, whilst highlighting differences for parents of children and young people with learning disabilities, which can be painful.
