Stress Management
1. Introduction
- Do you often feel stressed? And do you experience a high level of stress in your family?
- Has it ever happened that your child had become stressed by, in your opinion, small things?
- Do you think that the fact that your child has an Intellectual disability can affect your child’s stress level?
- Do you know how to work with your own and your child's stress levels?
This module focuses on stress management. The module contains three sections that will introduce you to what stress is and how the brain responds in stressful situations. There will be an introduction to what causes stress both for the child with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but also for the child’s family, and at the end a section about stress management.
In every section there will be a list of references.
