Abstract
ABSTRACT A random sample of parents fostering children with disabilities in a major Canadian city was asked “what are the rewards you receive from fostering a child with a disability?” A total of 57 unique responses were obtained and grouped together by the foster parents. Two statistical analyses were applied to the grouping data: multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. The results indicated that foster parents felt needed by the children, there were some financial benefits to fostering, they learned from their foster children, they saw the children make progress, they felt like they made a difference, and they had caring relationships with children.
