  • Child Development

Background:

  • Mothers with physical disabilities face unique challenges in child-rearing.
  • Understanding the support systems for these mothers is crucial for family well-being.
  • Previous research has not fully explored the dynamics of caregiving assistance for mothers with disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the caregiving roles and support systems of mothers with physical disabilities.
  • To explore how external assistance impacts mothers' central role in their children's lives.

Main Methods:

  • Survey methodology utilized with 71 U.S. mothers with a physical disability.
  • Participants had children aged 0 to 3 years.
  • The survey assessed the system of care utilized for their child.

Main Results:

  • Mothers actively participated in all aspects of childcare (physical, comforting, play, discipline, outings).
  • Partners and mothers' own mothers provided the most substantial care assistance.
  • Mothers reported general satisfaction with the assistance received from their support network.

Conclusions:

  • Mothers with physical disabilities maintain a central role in their children's care despite receiving external support.
  • Assistance from partners and family is vital for enabling mothers with disabilities to manage childcare effectively.
