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

Parenting
With a Disability
About
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.
