Whether defusing toddler tantrums, navigating teen angst, or juggling everything in between, most moms and dads would likely say that parenting is the toughest job they’re called to do, bar none. And for many it’s also an opportunity they cherish beyond measure. As mom to an awesome and spirited five-year-old, I can certainly relate to that dichotomy. But I do so through the prism of life as a person with a disability. And that’s a perspective often left out of the “trending” dialogue of today’s world…. Until now, anyway…. It is with enthusiasm and just plain joy that I encourage you to check out the Disabled Parenting Project and all that it has on tap for the 26th anniversary of the ADA. Together, let’s celebrate the power of #ADAparenting!
