In the United States, nearly 10% of children live with a parent with a disability. The American social reformer and clergyman Henry Ward Beecher once said, “We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.”

  • Dave Matheis, Kentucky Coalition for the Rights of Parents with Disabilities
  • Jason Jones, Disability Specialist, Human Development Institute, University of Kentucky
