A self-assessment that measures parental stress

Client families can complete our Parental Stress Scale to help understand parental stress as it impacts the quality of life for the family, parent and individual with an intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD).

Effective screening and measurement of parental stress leads to accurate and effective intervention. As an outcome measure, it can be used both moment-to-moment and over time.

Scale Overview

Catalight believes a key to treatment success is prioritizing quality of life to ensure the client and their family are thriving.

Leveraging one of the largest collections of real-world clinical data focused on developmental disabilities, the Parental Stress Scale, originally developed by Berry and Jones in 1995 were adapted by Catalight researchers for the I/DD population by reducing the number of questions to achieve an effective measure of parental stress.

The 15-question self-assessment takes just minutes to complete and evaluates parental stress. Results provide indicators for stress ranging from average, moderate or clinically significant. The other key element of measuring parental stress is it leads to effective and accurate interventions, delivering positive outcomes for the entire family.

Every six months, Catalight families complete the assessment so we can evaluate progress.
