Abstract
This study investigated factors relevant to parental alliance using the Parental Alliance Measure (PAM) with parents of children with disabilities. A total of 139 parents of children with disabilities participated in the study. Using multiple regression two factors were examined as relevant to parental alliance: satisfaction with the partnership and percent of caregiving provided by the other partner. Findings showed that parents who perceived a strong relationship with their partner and those who perceived their partner contributing a greater percent of caregiving for the child or children with disabilities in the family had a stronger parental alliance. Rehabilitation counselors may use the PAM with families to understand parenting dynamics, develop strategies, and increase involvement in the rehabilitation process.
