“…Though many studies indicate that parenting a child with intellectual disabilities can be a stressful experience (Grant & Whittel, 2000;Gerstein, Crnic, Blacher & Baker, 2009;Lloyd & Hastings, 2008), it is not that every family will buckle under the stress of care giving (Felicity, GreerIan & McClean, 2006;Gerstein et al, 2009;Neely-Barnes & Dia, 2008) or hide the disabled child from others (Singh, Jahan, Nizamie, & Singh, 2002).

Background: Raising a child with intellectual disability is stressful for the parent because it requires an intensive physical engagement as well as coping with emotional reactions to the child's condition. Parents have different modes of adapting to stress and demands caused by the disorder. Method: The current descriptive research design is aimed to identify existing coping strategies of parents who have children with intellectual disabilities. This study included 60 parents with intellectual disabilities children (30 mothers and 30 fathers) that were selected by random sampling. Parent's coping strategies were assessed by Collaborative Coping Strategies in Challenging Life Events (Ghobary et al., 2003) and Questionnaire on Resources and Stress (Friedrich, short form: QRS-F) was used to examine the degree of parental stress. Result: The correlation and regression analysis was used. The most of parent were used kind of coping strategies for coping with stress. Recognition of coping strategies of the parents is important and useful for the development of therapeutic interventions aimed at facilitating family adaptation in families with a child with intellectual disabilities.

“…In the first research to explore mindfulness and acceptance in parents of children with developmental disabilities, Lloyd and Hastings (2008) found evidence that increased psychological acceptance was associated both cross-sectionally and longitudinally with psychological distress in mothers of children with ID. Mindfulness was also measured in this research as a dispositional (trait) variable, but no significant 5 associations with maternal well-being were found.…”

“…Increased general mindfulness and mindfulness in the parenting role, as well as increased psychological acceptance in general and in the parenting role, have been associated with reduced psychological distress for mothers and fathers of children with ASD/DD (Jones et al 2014;Lloyd and Hastings 2008;MacDonald et al 2010;Weiss et al 2012). …”

Abstract: These data suggest that acceptance, in particular, may be a construct that explains some variance in maternal distress. Further research could focus on the utility of acceptance-based interventions (e.g. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) in the support of families with a child with ID.
