Caregivers of Children with Cerebral Palsy and Resiliency Model of Family Adaptation

SIBIN JOY VAYALIL

Abstract


The resiliency model of family stress, adjustment and adaptation is a theoretical framework used in this article to understand how families adapt when their child has had a chronic illness. This article describes the resiliency model in relation to the findings of research on families where a child has an unremitting illness. Identifying the factors impacting on the caregivers and the adaptation process they experience provides valuable insight and information to the provision of family centered services.

Keywords: Resiliency model, caregivers, adjustment and adaptation
