These studies are essential to future studies aimed at better understanding the implications of raising children with disabilities. The first study examines the effect of caring for children with disabilities on Australian mothers, the second study examines mindfulness training (MT) as a technique to help parents raise children with special needs and finally, a study in Japan highlights the way in which teachers support parents with special needs.
