Disabilities and Development

Abstract: This chapter focuses on theoretical and empirical approaches to the development of young children with biologically based developmental disabilities. The chapter begins with a discussion of the difficulties in constructing definitions of disabilities and developing appropriate diagnostic criteria for young children.

“…A similar finding was reported by Hastings (2003) among parents of children with autism, where fathers' mental health affected mothers' stress levels, but the reverse direction of effects was not found. Mothers' satisfaction with their social support networks affected their stress, consistent with previous research (Hauser-Cram et al, 2012), but mothers' satisfaction with their social support networks also affected fathers' stress. It may be the case that fathers rely on mothers' sources of support to a greater extent than mothers rely on fathers' sources of support.…”

“…According to models of stress from a family systems framework (McCubbin & Patterson, 1983;Perry, 2004), the impact of child-related stressors on parent well-being is explained in part by resources and supports at the individual and family level. Social support is a resource that has received considerable attention in this population because it represents a potential point of intervention (Hauser-Cram, Cannarella, Tillinger, & Woodman, 2012). Social support is a multidimensional construct that includes physical and instrumental assistance, resource sharing, and emotional and psychological support (Dunst, Trivette, & Cross, 1986).…”

“…Parents of children with ID generally report higher levels of stress than do parents of typically developing children (Hauser-Cram, Cannarella, Tillinger, & Woodman, 2013), and stress effects may be developmentally mediated. For parents of children with ID, average levels of stress are higher across all developmental periods from infancy through adolescence (Baker et al, 2003;Lopez, Clifford, Minnes, & Ouellette-Kuntz, 2008), and there is compelling evidence to suggest that parenting stress increases over time (Gerstein, Crnic, Blacher, & Baker, 2009;Hauser-Cram et al, 2001;Neece, Green, & Baker, 2012).…”
