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.”

Join us for an engaging conversation on parenting with a disability and a new book on the topic, “A Celebration of Family: Stories of Parents with Disabilities,” with our four guests:

  • Dave Matheis, Kentucky Coalition for the Rights of Parents with Disabilities
  • Jason Jones, Disability Specialist, Human Development Institute, University of Kentucky
  • Kimberly Tissot, President and Chief Executive Officer, ABLE-South Carolina
  • Kara Ayers, PhD. Associate Professor, Associate Director, University of Cincinnati Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCCEDD), Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.
