The
Internet's One-Stop Resource for Parents with Disabilities
For too long, people with disabilities had been told that having
families of our own was not an option. The truth is, though, that we
have always been parents, and as our society evolves, more and more of
us will have access to that opportunity. If you are a parent with a
disability, a person with a disability who is planning to become a
parent, or a nondisabled partner of a disabled parent, this page is for
you. We hope that this page is a good place to start on your own journey
toward independent parenting
Welcome
to the homepage of Disabled Parenting Today!
DPT is published by Sullivan Publishing Inc.which is owned and
operated by Ben and Sarah Sullivan. Ben has an Arterial Venous
Malformation which has caused partial paralysis on his right side.
The paralysis has impacted all areas of his life and when we had our
first child we had a hard time finding information or support for
parents with disabilities. So, we decided that it was time for a
newsletter. The first issue was published in September 1998. Our goal at
Disabled Parenting Today is to share practical and useful ideas,
inspiring insights and current research and product information to
empower disabled parents.

Our Way: Parenting with disabilities.
Determination and help from friends make it work.
To her 8- and 5-year-old
daughters, it's not such a big deal that Anne McIntyre Nalepa uses a
cane to keep pace when she walks them to school. Or that she often
crawled while chasing them around their Millvale home when they were
small.

Parenting
With a Disability
A</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Verdana;
mso-bidi-font-family:Arial">bout one-third of parents with disabilities have
experienced some form of discrimination, according to a recent survey
conducted by Berkeley Planning Associates of 1175 respondents. But there
are organizations and groups that can help defend parents rights and
quell attitudes grounded in misunderstanding.
Parent's
Place Message Board
Finally, a board where parents who have the disability can meet others
and share ideas and experiences. This bulletin board is open for topics
about how disabled parents manage at home or at work; we hope you will
use this board to share tips, encouragement, and support.
