Abstract
While mothers of young children with disabilities have often been targeted in family research, less is known about the experiences and involvement of fathers of these children. This chapter reviews the extant literature from 1995 to 2008 related to the experiences, involvement, and support needs of fathers of young children with disabilities. The review identified three themes around which the literature is discussed, fathers’: (a) experiences, stress, and coping; (b) involvement with their young children with disabilities and their early education programs; and (c) identified needs. Implications and recommendations for future research and practice are provided.
