Connections Between Knowledge and Practice in Educational Psychology

Abstract

The issue of exercising parental roles in families with children with special needs is a study framework that requires customization of measurements and interventions related to types and degrees of deficiencies. From this perspective, there is a configuration of mediating and moderator factors. The transnational, socio-cultural, and socio-economic aspects cannot be ignored from the perspective of adequate assistance and orientation of the children through parents. Support strategies must be related to diagnosis and psycho-individual manifestations. Also, parental cognitive abilities, parental educational and social status, parental physical and mental health, perceived self-efficacy and parental satisfaction, coping strategies, and parental reported well-being are elements that influence the quality of parent-child interrelations.
