Building New Dreams: Supporting Parents' Adaptation to Their Child with Special Needs.
Barnett, Douglas; Clements, Melissa; Kaplan-Estrin, Melissa; Fialka, Janice
Infants and Young Children, v16 n3 p184-200 Jul-Sep 2003
This paper reviews research suggesting that parents' adaptation to their children's diagnoses has been found to predict both family well-being and the children's attachment security. A parent group intervention designed to promote adaptation among such parents is then described, including the rationale, goals, and guidelines of the eight-session intervention.
