Children with Disabilities: A Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Parent Well-being, Volume 66, Number 3 (0631234756) cover image

< >

Investigates child development and family well-being during the first decade of life for children with Down syndrome, motor impairment, or developmental delay.
It was found that, although the child's type of disability predicts some features of development, the child's motivation and the quality of relationships are consistent predictors of the development of cognitive, social, communication, and daily living skills.
Both mothers and fathers report increasing levels of stress as their children grow older. The child's behavior problems are a consistent predictor of these increases, but the parent's abilities to problem-solve and garner support are ameliorating factors.
