Parent and Family Training

  • Chapter
Severe Behavior Disorders in the Mentally Retarded

Part of the book series: Applied Clinical Psychology ((NSSB))

Abstract

Professionals who work with handicapped children and their families appear to share an implicit assumption that strengthening the family is an important part of habilitation (Simeonsson & Simeonsson, 1981). This assumption is based on a recognition that, even in families of healthy, well-functioning children, child rearing is a challenging and stressful process. For families with a handicapped child, the problems associated with child rearing are magnified. Not all families of handicapped children want or need professional help, and for us to presume otherwise is to ignore the enormous variability among individuals. However, for many of these families, the demands of caretaking call for increased knowledge, resources, and support. Thus the question for professionals frequently is not if but rather how best to assist families in dealing with the specialized situation created by a handicapped child.
