Question

identify relevant factors that contribute to spousal hapiness and success in families of children with disabilities.

Answer 1

Parents of children with disabilities like autism, ADHD, learning disabilities and etcetera are at a greater risk of stress in comparison to other parents. The factors that contribute to spousal happiness are employment, a satisfactory job, communication, understanding, trust and de-stressing. If spouses are employed and have a satisfactory job, they are more likely to be content. Other than that, since researches have established that they are at a greater risk, they must once in a while do activities together to de-stress themselves. Perhaps take a vacation as a family, do learning activities together and etcetera. Both the spouses must communicate the difficulties that arise during dealing with the child. This would help the spouses understand each other better. The above factors immensely contribute to spousal  happiness and success in families of children with disabilities.
