| Description | Theoretical study focuses on the beginning of the process of acceptation a child with a disability by her or his own parents. The process is viewed on general level without specification of childs disability. Parents experience the disability of their child as a loss and traumatic event. The context of parent – child interaction is disturbed by childs disability which has consequences for child development. In order to adapt to their child disability parents need to express their emotions fully. Dialogue with specialist or close person who confirms the relevancy of experienced loss can facilitate it otherwise parents are in danger of chronic grief which avoid integration of unfavorable situation. Another important moment in parents adaptation is renewal or finding the meaning in their own particular situation. This moment is also the key to positive profit resourcing from successful adaptation in adversity. Latest research show there is more evidence about positive profit connected to parenting of child with disability. Parents who hade passed fully the healing sequence and accepted the role of parents of disabled child (Matějček, 2001) have prepared the best conditions for future life of their child. |
