The birth of a handicapped
child into a family may often
lead to handicapped parents.
A family may find itself overwhelmed emotionally by the
birth of a child with Down’s
syndrome, spina bifida or other
-birth defect. Such a handicap
becomes equally real and cruel
for parent and child. Whereas,
previously physicians have
been essentially concerned
with the child’s abnormalities,
we are now becoming more
aware and concerned about the
emotional needs of the parents
who give birth and raise such a
handicapped child. The family
which is unable to accept its
child’s defect and consequent
limitations may cause emotional problems in the child
which will further handicap
him. :
Scores of. ‘“‘telltale symptoms” expose the handicapped
parent. For example, the home
atmosphere may become supercharged with accusations of
blame, either toward one or the
other ‘parent or toward a professional. One parent.may remind the other that he or she
didn’t want to have a child in
the first place.
Often parents find themselves guilt-ridden as a consequence of bringing a defective
child into the world. They may
find that they possess ambivalent feelings toward their
handicapped child, which may
further enhance their guilt feelings. In many cases, they find
themselves unable to accept
their child’s handicap and
“shop” for medical advice
which will help them in their
need to deny the problem.
Family grief over the birth
of a handicapped child can become~chronic. Sometimes the
parents’ interrelationship can
be seriously affected and resort

Child’s Handicap Can Wreck Family,
Dimes Pediatrician Finds
Parents of child with Down’s syndrome (mongolism) receive information and counseling about the chromosome defect which
causes this condition in about one of 600 births.
Firm statistics on the frequency of divorce in such handicapped families is not yet
available.
The tragedy here is that
while the parents face their
own emotional upheaval, the
child may retreat further and
further into his own world to
avoid the stormy one of the
adults about him. In this
atmosphere, adequate home
management of the child’s
problems becomes most difficult. _
With the recognition of the
importance of ‘the emotional
needs of the parents, more and
more emphasis is being placed
on adequately understanding
these needs and dealing effectively with them. At The National Foundation March of
Dimes Center at the University of Louisville School of
Medicine, careful evaluation of
the family and their emotional
needs are undertaken. Treatment, where necessary, is provided by the Center or by a referral to another agency for
such. Emphasis is placed on
helping families with their feelings of guilt, hostility, shame
and often felt need of denial.
Unfortunately, elimination
and needs is by no means an
easy .or-short term undertakto divorce courts can ensue. ing. But one must deal with
or reduction of these feelings .
this problem if one is to help
the child.
In therapeutic counseling
sessions, the parents’ reactions
and responses are varied. They
may prove hostile to wellmeant and sympathetic professional help. They may be
overcome by shame. And yet,
for many, there isa sense of
relief when, during counseling,
they are finally made to understand and helped to accept
the truth about their child.
We find few of these parents
alike, but the cardinal point is
that we now recognize the
needs of these handicapped
parents whereas before we
were preoccupied with only
the child’s problems and were
often prone to overlook the
suffering of father, mother and
other siblings.
It is gratifying to find, however, that not all parents in
these difficult circumstances
are necessarily “handicapped.”
Actually, many are able to
make the proper adjustment
without too great a‘ difficulty:
In many families, the parentscome to look upon their handicapped youngster as a special
child in need of extra. understanding, love and care and
one which strengthens rather
than weakens the bonds _ between father, mother and siblings.
