ndifrank's picture

I want to focus on parents with disabilites. I found an article written by a mother with a physical disabilites about her impact on her son and an article written by the National Council on Disability about parents with disabilites. I want to analyze how having a parent with disabilities has been shown to impact children through both the personal account and the statiscal account. I plan to try to find more articles since these are both rather short. I also want to see if I can find anything about the difference between parents with mental and physical disabilities as well stigmas that surround being a parent who has disabilities.
