Abstract

The purpose of my research was to see if 1) there is a difference in parental perceptions of parenting styles and sibling relationships according to parent gender, sibling gender and type of disability as well as to 2) examine whether or not there is a linkage between parenting styles and sibling relationships in families raising a child with a disability (CWD). We studied autism, mental retardation, an orthopedic condition, other (deafness, blindness), and multiple disabilities.
