“…To more easily overcome many difficulties that are a part of their daily routine, parents of children with developmental disabilities need help and support from their immediate and broader social community. Higher levels of parental education, higher income and better social support contribute to healthier and better functioning of family with children with Down syndrome (Hsiao, 2014). Social support can be defined as information that lead a person to believe that they are unique and loved, valued and respected and it is also important in the network of mutual obligations and communication (Cobb, 1976, according to Siklos & Kerns, 2006).…”

Every day, the number of children born with disabilities is increasing. One of the many disabilities is Down's syndrome, which occurs on average in one of 650 infants. For a child born with this disability, it is much more difficult to normally grow, develop and function in everyday life. In the past, children born with Down syndrome were neglected, and their education was not paid almost any attention. Today, there are significant changes in social awareness related to rights and needs of children with Down syndrome. Early intervention programs that are being developed in order to mitigate problems of children with disabilities are becoming much better, and the number of therapeutic methods is increasing. There are a number of institutions and organizations which provide assistance and support to the parents of children with Down syndrome. To encourage their overall development and enable easier and more efficient functioning in society, children with Down syndrome are being integrated into pre-school and school facilities. The aim of this work is to further sensitize the public to problems and needs of this very vulnerable population of children and show examples of successful integration of children with Down syndrome in kindergarten and elementary schools.

Our current understanding of adaptation in families of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) is based primarily on findings from studies focused on participants from a single country. Guided by the Resiliency Model of Family Stress, Adjustment, and Adaptation, the purpose of this cross‐country investigation, which is part of a larger, mixed methods study, was twofold: (1) to compare family adaptation in 12 countries, and (2) to examine the relationships between family variables and family adaptation. The focus of this study is data collected in the 12 countries where at least 30 parents completed the survey. Descriptive statistics were generated, and mean family adaptation was modeled in terms of each predictor independently, controlling for an effect on covariates. A parsimonious composite model for mean family adaptation was adaptively generated. While there were cross‐country differences, standardized family adaptation mean scores fell within the average range for all 12 countries. Key components of the guiding framework (i.e., family demands, family appraisal, family resources, and family problem‐solving communication) were important predictors of family adaptation. More cross‐country studies, as well as longitudinal studies, are needed to fully understand how culture and social determinants of health influence family adaptation in families of individuals with DS.
