본 연구는 아동발달센터에서 치료 및 훈련을 받는 발달장애를 가진 아동의 부모를 대상으로 사회적지지, 장애수용, 경제적 안정감, 가족기능 간의 관계를 규명하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 이를 위하여 S시 소재 아동발달센터를 이용하는 발달장애 아동의 부모 252명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 사회적지지와 가족기능 간의 관계에서 장애수용의 매개 효과와 사회적지지, 장애수용과 가족기능 간의 관계에서 경제적 안정감의 조절효과를 검증하기 위하여 매개효과 3단계 검증 절차와 위계적 다중회귀분석을 활용하였다. 본 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조절변인인 경제적 안정감의 조절효과를 확인한 결과 사회적 지지와 가족기능 및 장애수용과 가족기능간의 관계 모두 경제적 안정감의 조절효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적 지지와 가족기능간의 관계를 장애수용이 매개하는지 검증한 결과, 사회적 지지와 가족기능의 관계를 장애수용이 부분매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 발달장애를 가진 아동의 가정이 제대로 기능할 수 있도록 돕는 프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
