| Abstract |
Having a child with developmental disabilities for a Chinese family in Taiwan is not only impacted by the lack of a supportive social system including health, educational, financial, and care services, as is the case in many countries, but is also rooted in the traditional Chinese cultural context. The value of children in the Chinese cultural context is different from most Western cultures. This context exacerbates the stressors attached to having a family member with developmental disabilities. (Journal abstract.)
