Negative correlations were found for mothers' stress in Child Domain and support from the community. Significant negative correlations were found between families' stress and support received from fiends and relatives. Within these families no significant differences were found between fathers' and mothers' perceived stress. Findings indicated higher perceived stress in families with special needs children. The Parent Stress Index and a parental questionnaire were used. The sample consisted of 15 families with special needs children and 15 with children with no known handicapping conditions. This study compared perceived stress and social support in fathers and mothers of children with and without disabilities.
