    Background:

    • Attachment theory is crucial for understanding child development.
    • Limited research exists on attachment formation in severely impaired children.
    • Assessing attachment in children with significant impairments presents unique challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the concept and formation of attachment in handicapped children.
    • To discuss the implications of attachment development in severely impaired children.
    • To present preliminary data on the assessment of attachment in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of attachment behaviors in 50 mother-child dyads involving handicapped children.
    • Observation and categorization of child attachment responses.

  • Comparison of attachment behaviors between handicapped and non-handicapped children of similar developmental age.

    • Main Results:

    • Attachment behaviors were observed across a continuum in severely impaired children.
    • These behaviors ranged from neutral acknowledgments to more pronounced responses.
    • Compared to non-handicapped children, responses were less complex and differentiated.

    Conclusions:

    • Attachment phenomena exist and are assessable even in severely impaired children.
    • Understanding these attachment patterns is vital for clinical practice.
    • Strategies to promote attachment in families of severely impaired children should be developed.
