Abstract
This paper describes an intervention programme, evaluation procedures, and results from a study of skills training for reducing stress with parents of handicapped children. Four mothers of developmentally disabled children participated in an 8-week training programme designed to teach parents ways to enhance their coping skills, increase their social support networks, and collectively make changes in their environment. Post-test data indicate that the programme shows promise for teaching coping and social support enhancement skills to parents.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
