Accessing Parenthood: Stories by and About Parents With Disabilities (September 2024)

Book cover for Accessing Parenthood, with a grainy artistic photo of a girl standing in a field of flowers outside, with a large dandelion up close.

In nine poignant essays, from nine varied perspectives, Accessing Parenthood confronts how disability changes the act of parenting. The essayists write of pushing their bodies to keep up with their children, of coming to understand their parents’ disabilities, or of grappling with the decision to have children at all. These essays examine the universally heart-wrenching challenges of watching your children grow up, worried that you’ll ruin them, as well as barriers unique to the experience of parenting with a disability.

“A beautiful read. Written with courage and brutal honesty about the challenges of living with a disability.”

Paul Sanchez, Diversity Rules Magazine
