Abstract

The purpose of this quantitative descriptive study was to examine caregiver burden and family hardiness in families raising children with disabilities (CWD) to determine 1) If there are differences in these variables according to parent gender and type of disability, and 2) If there is a relationship between the variables so more appropriate interventions can be provided to these families.
