Despite long-term resilience, many parents of children with developmental disabilities experience unusual levels of stress along the way. Researchers have particularly focused on parents’ depressive symptoms as indicators of stress in these families [Singer, 2006]. For the sizable minority of parents who do experience unusual levels of psychological distress, there is a need for interventions leading to earlier resolution of depressive symptoms and fewer lifetime episodes of elevated levels of depression especially in mothers. In comparing studies of parents with and without children with developmental disabilities, Singer reported a small but consistent effect size difference in indicators of psychological distress in studies of mothers conducted over the past 25 years. He estimated an approximate 10% increase in the number of mothers with scores over clinical cutoff scores on standardized self-report, paper and pencil measures of depressive symptoms.
