This article presents long-term effects of a preventive intervention for young children at high risk for antisocial behavior.
Children whose siblings were adjudicated were at risk for antisocial behaviors. The preventive effect of the modified Incredible Years Series program was examined in the study by randomly assigning high-risk preschoolers and their parents into either an intervention group or a control group.

The authors used data from Waves 1 and 2 of the National Survey of Families and Households (NSFH) to test the generality of the links between parenting practices and child outcomes for children in two age groups: 5-11 and 12-18.
The associations between parenting practices and child outcomes are well documented, however, the generalizability of the association across different race/ethnicity, family structure, education, gender, and family income is still unknown.
The aim of this research was to compare parental stress, coping strategies and social support perceived in families of children with low functioning autism (n = 8), high functioning autism (n = 10), Down syndrome (n = 12) and parents of typically developing children (n = 20).
Parents of children with developmental disabilities face many stressors and may cope in a variety of ways.
