摘要：The birth of a child having a disability requires a period of adaptation for the family. When parents are maladjusted, their mental health will be negatively affected, interfering with their day to day lives. This document attempts to determine the degree of maladjustment in 36 parents (23 mothers and 13 fathers) of children with distinct disabilities as well as its relationship with certain sociodemographic variables. Results reveal values for these families that are above the cut-off point for a scale (> 12) of a series of variables affecting adaptation to their child's specific case.
