Question

Identify and discuss several possible emotional reactions of parents whose children have disabilities.

Answer 1

Wow this is a very loaded question. These reactions range typically based on if A) the parent is okay with having a disabled child and of course B) how the doctor reacts and tells the parents to be. It is still a very common thing for doctors to advise to abort a child with disabilities and depending on how a parent takes this a range of emotions could appear like anger, sadness, shock, etc. and the wanting of a disabled child or not can result in the same emotions. I hope this helps!
