“…This finding is consistent with those of other studies on couples raising a child with disability in Greek families (Antzakli-Xanthopoulou, 2003), as well as couples of other nationalities (Lamb, 1986;Schilling, Schinke & Kirkham, 1985). This overfunctioning of the mother, which is acknowledged by their husbands, was also found in families with children without disability.…”

“…According to Schilling et al, (1985) this may be partially due to the idea that, because women are the ones who give birth to the child with disabilities, they are more apt to feel responsible for a disabling condition.…”

“…When a child with disabilities is present in the home, childcare and house work take much more time (Bailey, et al, 1992;Schilling, et al, 1985). Work force participation often exacerbates the demands of caring for children with special needs, as there are more total demands on the parents.…”

“…"Taking gender seriously has until recently mostly meant taking women into account" (Morgan, 1981, as cited in McKee & O'Brien, (1983). Even those studies that presume to study parents of children with disabilities are often studies of maternal attitudes or research about fathers' attitudes derived from or through the influence of the mothers (Bailey, Blasco, & Simeonsson, 1992;Cooper & Allred, 1992;Gallagher, Cross, & Scharfman, 1981;Krause, 1993;Linder & Chitwood, 1984;McKee & O'Brien, (1983) ; Meyer, 1986;Schilling, Schinke, Kirkham, 1985;Traustadottir, 1991;Willoughby & Glidden, 1995;Young & Roopnarine, 1994). McKee and O'Brien (1983) found that husbands and fathers were generally inaccessible for research, that research was dependent on wives/mothers as a point of entry, and that wives needed to be won over to give permission for husbands to be approached.…”

Less is known about the father's than the mother's role in family adaptation to children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships of both father and mother use of coping strategies and perceptions of the child with measws of family functioning style. Subjects were 26 families of Wmonthold children with a mental delay and a comparison group of 26 families of same-aged children with no delay. Functioning style for study families showed a balance of cohesion and adaptability; comparison families were more chaotically flexible on the adaptability scale. Mothers and fathers agreed on family functioning style. Study parents made the greatest use of external coping strategies, while in both p u p s mothers used more external and fathers more internal coping strategies. Relationships between coping and family functioning varied by parent and by group. Results suggest the need for further exploration of the separate needs of fathers and mothers in maintaining balanced family functioning.
