Structured abstract:
| Background: | Stress in parenting can affect parents’ health and ability to successfully meet the needs of their children. This can be especially true for parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), who face unique challenges that parents of children without disabilities may not experience. Even with the challenges, parents are resilient. This resilience should be supported by practitioners who work with these families. Conducting a systematic review of research article databases, researchers recently revealed key factors that support resilience in parents of children with I/DD. |
