Berkeley, CA - Winter 2001 to May 2002 -Through the Looking Glass,
National
Resource Center for Parents with Disabilities. Through the Looking
Glass is
conducting a nationwide project to learn more about families in which a
parent with a disability is raising a teen (11-17 years old). This
project is
funded by the National Institute on Disability Research and
Rehabilitation,
part of the Department of Education.
* What do we mean by disability? Disability can involve physical,
visual,
systemic, hearing, cognitive, learning, developmental and mental health
issues. Why are we conducting research? Although there are over 10
million
families in which one or both parents have a disability, relatively
little is
known about the experiences of these families.
* Who can participate: Parents with disabilities and Deaf parents who
have
teenagers (children 11 to 17 years of age). The parent and the teenager
are
both welcome to participate.
* Ways to get involved:
-- Participate in a national survey of parents with disabilities who are
raising teens age 11-17. Your teen can also fill out a survey and
receive $5
in return.
-- Surveys are available in a variety of formats: In Spanish, over the
phone,
and in a version specific to Deaf parents.
-- Local families (SF Bay area) can participate in 12 weeks of
solution-focused family therapy in their own home.
-- Deaf parents can participate in a face-to-face interview in ASL if
you
live in or near one of the following cities: San Francisco, Seattle,
Santa
Fe, New York, Kansas City, or Washington, DC.
-- Teens of parents with disabilities can participate in our hosted Teen
Bulletin Board (<A
