Stress Management

3. What causes stress


In this section, you will get an introduction to the causes of stress, both for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and the child’s family. You will be presented how a child's developmental profile looks different and the way this impacts the stress that child is potentially experiencing. In addition, you will have the opportunity to listen to two interviews with parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They will tell their story with a focus on how they have experienced the stress during the first couple of years after their child was diagnosed, and what kind of learning they have had being a parent to a child with special needs .
