Dyson, Lily; Fewell, Rebecca R.
Journal of the Division for Early Childhood, v10 n1 p25-35 1986
Findings of the study involving 15 families with handicapped children (three to six years old) and 15 without indicate significantly greater stress in families with handicapped children. Four factors are identified as significantly related to stress: (1) child characteristics, (2) physical incapacity, (3) parental pessimism regarding the child, and (4) severity of handicap.
