Parental Attitudes Questionnaire in Families With a Child With Special Needs Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is intended to assess parental attitudes and interaction patterns in families raising a child with special needs. The Parental Attitudes Questionnaire in Families With a Child With Special Needs is a self-report instrument that can help clinicians identify emotionally and behaviorally relevant dimensions of the parent-child relationship.
The questionnaire includes 30 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Items are designed to characterize the parent’s emotional stance (e.g., acceptance versus rejection) and behavioral orientation (e.g., monitoring and control versus support for autonomy), which may inform case formulation, treatment planning, and family support services.
The Parental Attitudes Questionnaire in Families With a Child With Special Needs has been attributed to E. M. Cummings and M. E. Lamb and is generally interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview data and other sources of information.
