Child Psychology and Developmental Disabilities

There has been an increasing recognition of the importance of asking more positive questions about the experiences and challenges of families of children with disabilities. However, this recognition has not yet had a noticeable impact on research trends. Our aim in this paper is to review existing published research on the positive experiences and challenges of families and propose a resilience model for future investigation of families' positive experiences. This model is based on the proposition that positive experiences serve as resources that help families adapt to or cope with the challenges of raising a child with disabilities. Throughout the discussion, we identify several questions for future research and address several implications for practice.
