Supporting Parents with Disabilities

The following user-friendly guides and training were created to help social workers and service providers better support parents with disabilities. The video is a 75-minute overview that covers the historical context, policies, core concepts, and best practices in working with parents with disabilities. The English and Spanish language guides accompany the video, provide more detailed information on social work and social service practice with parents with disabilities, and provide links to resources in Arizona and across the country.  

The video training and the guides were developed as part of a generous grant from the Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council. The contract is supported by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $1,500,930, with 0% from non-governmental sources. Services provided under this contract, including the views expressed in written materials or publications and by any speakers do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the ADDPC, ACL or HHS.  Gotomedia assisted with making these guides user-friendly and accessible.
