interest of both researchers and policy makers, due to its greater
recognition within the disability movement, continuing debates about
the role of children in caring for parents, and the development of
social policies that emphasise parent support.

children in 75 families. Covering a broad spectrum of issues facing
disabled parents and their families, Parenting and disability:
The book is aimed at a wide audience, including students and academics
in social policy, social work, disability studies, sociology, education
and nursing, people working in the voluntary sector, disabled activists
and their supporters, as well as policy makers and practitioners in a
range of statutory agencies.
