Summary

This study tested a program where mothers and their children with intellectual disabilities (ages 6-12) did art activities together to improve their relationship and well-being. 157 mother-child pairs took part, with some receiving the art program and others continuing usual care. The goal was to see if art could reduce parenting stress and burnout, and improve mood and communication.
