Stress Experienced by Parents of Children Diagnosed with a Learning Disability- A Study

Abstract

Parental stress is experienced by children’s parents with learning disabilities such as Down syndrome as well as Intellectual Disabilities as a result of adjusting to and managing with their children's problems. Despite the fact that millions of people encounter learning difficulties every moment, there is a widespread uncertainty and disinformation about the nature and influence of learning disability. Inadequate knowledge regarding learning disability increases the danger of stigma, as well as the chance of diminished expectations as well as missed opportunities in school, the workplace, and the community. Recent research has found that children’s parents with neuro disabilities suffer more parental stress than parents of normally developing children, although the relationship between the type of condition and parenting stress is unclear. This study aims to compare mean scores of the parental distress level among children parents with learning disabilities & difficult child level among children’s parents with learning disabilities.
