The aim was to study stress and coping between parent caregivers of children with cerebral palsy and ADHD children. 120 parent caregivers, of them 30 male and 30 female parent caregivers having children with cerebral palsy and 30 male and 30 female parent caregivers having children with ADHD were considered for the study. The male parent caregiver’s age ranged between 28-40years and the female parent caregiver’s age ranged between 22-30 years.
