Abstract:
Any child born as differently abled, makes an impact on family members. But the impact is not the same on all families, as the severity of child makes the difference on ‘impact’. The impact can be termed as burden also. This burden is usually divided into objective and subjective burden as given by (Hoening & Hamilton, 1966) objective burden is related to observable and concrete demands, and the author relates subjective burden to emotional costs and the extent to which family members perceive the burden. The various areas in which the family undergoes changes are expressed through Family impact Questionnaire. The purpose as explained by Donenberg & Baker is to find measures, to lower family stress , thereby improving the coping skill, improve quality of life of parents, siblings. Since heightened stress may negatively bias parents' perceptions of their children (Forehand, Wells, & Griest, 1980; Webster-Stratton, 1988), impair the quality of parent-child interactions, & interfere with parent-focused interventions (Baker, Landen, & Kashima, 1991). Many people refer to the year 2000 as the Millennium. The participant parents in this study, all of them have Intellectually Disabled children born after the year 2000. The family impact scale, developed by Donenberg & Baker in the year, 1993 was used in assessment. Though an old likert scale, it was found to be very useful in assessing the impact of intellectually disabled child on family. This study elaborates on finding with families of Cuddalore district of Tamilnadu.
