Our vision is a society where disabled people are valued as parents and can access the support they need to carry out their parenting role. We provide information and advice to disabled people about pregnancy and parenthood. Much of this focuses on practical things, like how to change a nappy with one hand, carrying a baby on a wheelchair, keeping track of a toddler as a blind person, accessible information for visually impaired and Deaf people.
