Parents Too

Disabled parents are largely invisible yet there are many disabled people successfully bringing up children, often with less support and facing more discrimination than their able-bodied counterparts. In this six part weekly series Mukti Jain Campion meets disabled parents to talk about their experiences. The first four features follow a day in the life of four different disabled parents around the UK. The final two features present some of the pioneering advances made by disabled parents in California, birthplace of the Disability Rights Movement and home to a high concentration of independent living disabled people.
