dc.description.abstractThis literature review examines the complex challenges faced by heterosexual families raising children with disabilities. It focuses on the emotional. Physical, and social impacts. It explores the parents' experience of stress, anxiety, and depression and additionally highlights gender differences in caregiving roles, where mothers often bear a disproportionate burden while fathers may feel isolated. The literature review also considers the effects on siblings, who may experience feelings of neglect and emotional distress while also investigating societal issues such as stigma, discrimination, and limited access to resources. Also explored is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on families of children with disabilities. The findings emphasize the role and importance of counselling psychology. Considering tailored interventions, such as cognitive behavioural therapy and family counselling, to support parental mental health, foster resilience, and promote positive family dynamics. The literature review advocates for comprehensive support systems comprised of financial assistance, accessible services, and inclusive policies, to empower families and create a more equitable environment for individuals with disabilities.
