Hastings, Richard P.; Taunt, Helen M.
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v107 n2 p116-27 Mar 2002
This paper reviews research on the positive perceptions and experiences of other members in families with children with developmental disabilities. It also proposes a model for further study based on the hypothesis that positive perceptions function as strategies that help families adapt to or cope with the experiences of raising a child with disabilities.
