Customer + Community Experience Designer | I re-design products and services to center ease, equity, and efficiency
How many men do you know who identify as living with a Disability? How many fathers do you know who identify as living with a Disability? This study is a great start to better understanding "the life and parenting experiences of fathers with disabilities". The study was controlled for socioeconomic and demographic factors, but I wonder how disparities in resonance with the word/label "Disability" might have impacted the results. Because populations of the global majority living in the United States have a history of trauma and abuse that deter adoption of the term "Disability", I can imagine there might be individuals who identify in the "No Disabilities" category who may in fact be undiagnosed and/or lack access to adequate, identity-aware care. Likewise, there could be individuals in the 1+/2+ categories who are under-diagnosed or misdiagnosed for a variety of reasons. The study also compared Disabled Fathers to Non-Disabled Fathers. I would love to see a comparison to the other person(s) in the second parent/guardian role. Are kids more likely to stay in the home with Disabled Fathers if they also have a Disabled co-parent/guardian? What if the Disabled father is not the first Disabled parent in his family? What if the Disabled father became Disabled after the onset of fatherhood? What questions do you have about Disabled Fathers? Thanks for the repost Keith Jones #Fatherhood #DisabledDads #DisabilityInclusion #DisabilityRights #DisabilityIdentity
Fathers with disabilities live with their children at much lower rates than fathers who don't have a disability. Learn more in the report by Samantha Shortall and Miriam Heyman for the National Research Center for Parents with Disabilities! Available in English and Spanish. https://zurl.co/pVV0
