Brain fog is the most disruptive part of my disability - and I include only being able to stand for 2 minutes in that list. I really cannot function today and I need to. I am so frustrated and fed up. My poor kids.

people are shitty to parents of all kinds of disabled kids, but unfortunately since any behavioral problem in public is seen as bad parenting, and the grumpy "that's no excuse" "in my day that didn't exist" lines come out. #ableism #parenting #disabledparenting #disability

#DisabilityResearch #MentalHealth
Nearly 1 out of 4 of American parents who live with their children under the age of 18 had a mental illness within the past year. Includes images of four figures of different genders and disabilities, with one of them highlighted to signify 1 out of 4. The ParentingWell Practice Approach supports behavioral-health practitioners in integrating conversations about parenting and family experiences into their work with adults with mental illness. The adaptation process in Philadelphia included the following overlapping steps: 1 The establishment of an Adaptation Team. 2 Community review of existing ParentingWell content. 3. The ParentingWell Learning Collaborative, an online training program for providers in Philadelphia. Each point is accompanied with an illustration of a group of researchers discussing data. Community reviewers identified benefits of ParentingWell for the Philadelphia community: The materials provide a blueprint for clinicians to engage and ask questions about parenting and wasn’t too clinical.” “As a parent who is coping with mental illness, I think that if this program had been available sooner, I would have found stability and success in my parenting, daily life, career, etc., a long time ago.” The questions and activities were thought provoking.

While other families talk about sports schedules and weekend plans, many disabled parents are quietly managing crises created by the very systems meant to help them. You’re filling out forms, gathering records, fighting decisions that shouldn’t have happened, and explaining, over and over, that your disability doesn’t make you less of a parent, but it does mean the world isn’t designed for how your brain and body work.

Should every disabled parent have a generator? Sometimes people with disabilities assume they require a generator. Your first question should be “Is a generator the best option for my family and me?” We suggest that you consider the following as you decide. Generators: Are not always the best solution Cannot be used in apartments Can be dangerous when not properly used Are not affordable for many people, including maintenance and fueling. Read more specific information on our resource webpage. Illustration of a generator. Are disaster shelters required to provide a hospital bed for a parent with a disability in a shelter? Yes, disaster shelters must provide a hospital bed if requested. They can also accommodate individuals who request other sleeping options, such as a recliner, pressure mat (like an egg crate mattress topper), etc. Illustration of a patient lying in a hospital bed.

"Researchers found that:" "1. Termination of parental rights was the result in most of the appealed cases. The cases were all mothers with disabilities in court (Accompanying illustration of a judge presiding of a case and a pie chart showing how 93% of TPR came from the appeals). 2. The type of disability does not impact the termination of parental rights risk (Accompanying illustrations of physical, intellectual, hearing, and visual disabilities). 3. Characteristics besides disability impact the risk of termination of parental rights." "What needs to change?" "People with disabilities deserve protection for their families. The study has two ideas on how to do this. Mandated reporters must not use biased tests. Parents with disabilities must receive increased support services. The needs of every parent with a disability are different. Because of this, programs should be unique to each family." Accompanying illustration of a red circle with a diagonal line through it, symbolizing "no". Inside this circle is a paper labeled "IQ Test". It invites readers to read the brief on the website using a QR code, along with the author's name, Marcy Waring. The title of the brief is "Terminating the parental rights of mothers with disabilities."
