Abstract
Negative stereotypes regarding mother-child, single-parent families of young handicapped children can affect the design of both research and intervention for these families. Drawing illustrations from a pilot study of single parents of handicapped children and from the limited research in this area, the following article challenges those negative assumptions and issues six methodological caveats that should be observed in designing research and intervention for single parents of handicapped children.Keywords
