A supportive psychological assessment that helps couples reflect on their awareness, attitudes, experiences, acceptance, and readiness for the possibility of raising a child with special needs.
Take the first step by completing the test below.
This test is designed for individuals or couples who want to reflect on their readiness for the possibility of raising a child with special needs.
It is suitable for engaged couples, newlyweds, married couples without children, couples planning to conceive, and parents considering having more children.
This screening tool is intended for self-reflection and educational purposes only, and it is not a clinical diagnosis.
If your results show that you may need more support, guidance is available.
You may benefit from speaking with a mental health professional, counsellor, or healthcare provider to better understand your concerns and strengthen your readiness.
Learning more about special needs parenting, connecting with support services, and increasing your exposure to relevant information can also help you feel more prepared.
This test is based on the development and validation of the Pre-Parental Readiness Scale for Special Needs Parenting (PPRS-SNP), a 30-item psychometric instrument covering six domains: awareness, positive appraisal, negative appraisal, experience, stigma, and acceptance.
