The Use of Videotapes in Parent Group Education Sessions.

Rimmerman, A.; And Others

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v13 n2 p171-74 Jun 1990

This study, with 60 mothers of infants and toddlers with developmental disabilities, examined the effectiveness of using videotapes as part of a group parent education program. Parents in the group that saw the videotapes reported less perceived stress, a more positive view of their child's functioning, and higher levels of perceived belonging than did controls. (DB)
