Caregiving for a special needs child requires beyond “normal” parenting, as the parents have to cope with the changes that related to their child’s need.
Multiple researches indicated that parents of children with special needs tend to experience higher burden as compared to parents of children without disabilities.
This workshop will be focusing on understanding the effect of caregiver's stress and ways to cope with it. By identifying the stressors related to caregiving a child with special needs, caregivers are able to identify coping strategies that can further improve their wellbeing as well as quality of life.
