Abstract
Evidence shows that parents of children
with intellectual disabilities experience high levels
of stress, emotional challenges and higher levels of
depression. Despite these challenges, support for parents
has tended to be peripheral in healthcare services of
children. There is a lack of research attention given
to support programmes for parents of children with
intellectual disabilities despite the importance of parenting
for the optimal development of children with intellectual
disabilities.
