Author

Abstract

Focuses on Latina mothers' well-being and the effects of having a mentally retarded child.

Depression was predicted by low family cohesion and other factors. (RJM)

3. Out-of-Home Placement for Children with Retardation: Family Decision Making and Satisfaction.

Author

Blacher, Jan and Baker, Bruce L.

Abstract

Interviewed 62 families that had recently placed their mentally retarded children about their experiences. Placements generally followed gradual build-up of child-related stress. Parents reported high satisfaction with placement and positive family adaptation following placement. Family experiences generally were not related to child's age, level of retardation, or behavior problems, or to size of placement facility. (Author/NB)
