An explosion of research on families and developmental disabilities occurred during the last two decades of the 20th century and is continuing into the 21st century. The Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development sponsored conferences, workshops, and requests for applications on many aspects of family adjustment. The American Association on Mental Retardation published a special collection of journal articles (Blacher & Baker, 2002) and special issues of the American Journal on Mental Retardation (1989) and the Journal of Intellectual Disability Research (2003) were devoted to the topic. Driven by the greater likelihood that persons with developmental disabilities (DD) would live longer and with their families, the need for understanding the influence of the family assumed a high priority. This influence was seen as transactional, with attention directed both to understanding the effect of a person with DD on the family, as well as the effect of the family on persons with DD.
