Helping military families who have a child with a disability cope with stress
- Russo, T. J., & Fallon, M. A. (2001). Helping military families who have a child with a disability cope with stress. Early Childhood Education Journal, 29(1), 3-8. doi:10.1023/a:1011348620920
- The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) is a program that offers resources to military families who have a child with special needs. This study investigated the interaction between military-related stress and the stress of having a young child with a disability and how effective EFMP is at addressing that interaction. Results suggest that military families who have a child with a disability experience more stress than their counterparts who do not have a child with a disability and that EFMP is effective in helping these families.
