“…As was previous discussed (e.g. Deault, 2010;Multhauf et al, 2016;Vernhet et al, 2019) the present findings contribute to our knowledge regarding the emotional experience of parents raising a child with ASD, LD, or ADHD, and highlights the vulnerability of both parents. In the present study, it was found that although a large part of the parents has been through the process of grief about the loss of the healthy child, they continue to cope during adolescence and adulthood period of their child, especially learning to manage in new situations of their child, with their pain and feeling of loss.…”

“…It is therefore unsurprising that depression and anxiety rates among parents of ASD children are higher not only in comparison to parents of typically developing children, but also in comparison to parents of children with different developmental delays or disabilities (Almansour et al, 2013;Bekhet, 2018;Karst & Van Hecke, 2012). A meta-analysis analyzing 44 studies found that parents of children with ADHD also show higher levels of stress than parents of typically developing children; the severity of child's ADHD symptoms was found to be related to the level of parental stress (Theule et al, 2013), and parenting a child with LD (Dyslexia) was also increase parenting stress and depressive symptoms (Carotenuto et al, 2017;Multhauf et al, 2016).…”

Raising a child with special needs is challenging for most parents. The current study sought to focus on the emotional feelings of parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or with learning disabilities. This qualitative study examined 41 parental retrospective perceptions and feeling regarding six aspects: 1) Emotional feelings toward the child referring to different period of his/her life. 2) Emotional feelings in the marital relationships. 3) Personal feelings of the parent. 4) Emotional feelings toward the educational systems. 5) Support and coping. 6) Needs and thoughts regarding the future. Findings revealed that parents from all groups, were experiencing a difficult period following diagnosis and in their daily routines. They described a lot of stress, anxiety, and anger. Some parents described their relationships as unstable and as involving conflicts and disagreements, others adopted a more positive mindset and with the challenges they were facing. Many parents referred to the emotional support and guidance they were receiving either as part of a support group or by visiting a therapist. The present findings contribute to our knowledge regarding the emotional experience of parents raising a child with disability, and highlight the vulnerability of parents with a child with special needs.

Parents and carers supporting their children with dyslexia liken their experiences to battle, when trying to secure appropriate educational provision for their children. This chapter expands our understanding of parents’/carers’ experiences through exploration of both academic studies, reviews and gray literature since the Assent of the Children and Families Act 2014 in England. Using a Bourdieusian framework underpinned by Jenkins’ ‘levels of interaction’, this chapter studies parental/carers’ experiences of dyslexia and procurement of appropriate educational provision for their children with dyslexia. Parents’/carers’ internal sense-making of dyslexia is explored. Connections are made between this sense-making and the nature of parents’/carers’ interactions with their children and education professionals. These interactions, as underpinned by individuals’ understandings of dyslexia are then explored in the context of the social positions occupied by parents/carers relative to others within the field of education. Parents’/carers’ capacity to engage with professionals, and contribute meaningfully to decision-making processes through embodiment of necessary habitus is exposed through analysis of individual sense-making, interactional exchanges and institutional relationships. Practical and theoretical implications of parents’/carers/sense-making of dyslexia, their interactional experiences, and embodiment of habitus are then described in a ‘Who, What, When and How’ overview of parents/carers supporting a child with dyslexia.

Background: South Africa has a dearth of research regarding the management of children with dyslexia (CWD), which could be exacerbated by the apparent lack of parental support. South Africa has a unique educational, linguistic and socio-economic context; thus, more specific investigations were warranted into the perspectives and needs of parents and caregivers of CWD in South Africa.Aim: To determine the parental perspectives of the management of their CWD in South African schools.Setting: An online research survey was sent to South African parents with a CWD.Methods: A descriptive, embedded design, including both qualitative and quantitative aspects, was implemented. The study was cross-sectional in nature. Stratified sampling was used in which the participants were divided into two separate strata.Results: Results indicated that most parents of CWD had good knowledge regarding dyslexia in South Africa. Most parents with CWD had difficulty with the social stigma surrounding the disorder. Furthermore, parents were aware of their role in their CWD’s education; however, a lack of resources was evident in South Africa leading to poor parental experiences.Conclusion: There is a lack of resources and access to appropriate services such as multisensory teaching methods and accommodations in South Africa. Parents of CWD therefore did not receive enough support in the management of their child’s dyslexia. Future research should be conducted regarding South African teachers’ knowledge and perspectives regarding dyslexia and the management thereof. It was recommended that professionals trained in the management of dyslexia educate and advocate for CWD and their families.
