“…In some cases, the synonyms were very close such as using the term psychological well-being synonymously with the term well-being [Essex et al, 1999;Esbensen et al, 2006]. In other cases, synonyms for well-being included adjustment [Glidden et al, 2006], adaptation [Kersh et al, 2006], family functioning [Warfield et al, 2000], and psychological distress [Emerson et al, 2006]. This same extent of overlap was evident in the studies focusing on adaptation and family functioning.…”

“…As reported in Table 2, 75% of the 20 studies (15 papers) focusing on well-being, adaptation, and family functioning were descriptive in nature and included predictor variables investigating the impacts of internal characteristics. The most consistent themes across the studies of internal family characteristics are that behavior problems of children and adults with ID [Eisenhower and Blachard, 2006 [Warfield et al, 2000], and general social support [Lustig and Akey, 1999]. In all three cases the supports investigated had a positive impact on the family outcome measures used in the studies.…”

The purpose of this review is to (a) document the current status of conceptualizing and measuring family outcomes related to having a member with an intellectual disability and (b) determine the extent to which family research focuses on internal family characteristics as contrasted to external family support. The reviewers collected 28 articles using the terms well-being, adaptation, family functioning, or family quality of life in the title. Results of our analyses are presented as a comparison between well-being, adaptation, and family functioning articles in one group and family quality of life articles in a second group. Both groups lacked explicit conceptual definitions, theory, and random/representative samples. The articles placed an undue emphasis on maternal participation, and tended to report a single family member score as representative of the whole family. Two major differences between the groups was a tendency for family quality of life studies to be grounded in conceptual frameworks and focus on new instrument development. Recommendations for future research directions are included.

“…The intensity of services was also the subject of a study by Warfield et al . (), which in contrast to the previous study found that a higher intensity of services was significantly and positively correlated with increased family cohesion and further increase in support. Judge (), in his study conducted with 69 parents of children with special needs or at risk of developmental delays participating in programmes, also found that EI service providers who had spent more time with those families studied (number of contact hours per month, ranging from less than one hour per month to over five hours per month) had a more positive assessment with regard to their practical support.…”

This study investigated the support and benefits of early intervention (EI) in families with children with special needs. Data were gathered through a written questionnaire, ‘Family Benefits Inventory’, completed by 126 families with children with special needs supported by EI teams, with ages from six months to six years in Portugal. The global results obtained in this study allowed us to conclude that families considered that they obtained benefit from EI and received support most of the time in the different dimensions of the questionnaire. Furthermore, support given by an EI professional had a positive influence on families' perceptions regarding the benefits of EI.

“…Although some dated back to the 1980s, researchers still apply them to current studies of families with children with and without disabilities (e.g. Warfield et al . 2000; Trute 2003; Nachshen & Minnes 2005; Lewis et al .…”
