| 520 | |a A paradigm shifting look at the landscape of disabled parenting--the joys, stigma, and discrimination--and how disability culture holds the key to transforming the way we all raise our kids In Unfit Parent, Slice debunks the exclusionary myths that deem disabled people "unfit" to care for their children, instead showing how disabled parents and disability culture provide valuable lessons for rejecting societal rules that encourage perfectionism and lead to isolation. Combining her personal experiences with interviews, research-backed evidence, and disability studies, Slice shares insight into what the landscape is like for disabled parents--one that is scattered with unpredictable obstacles and inaccessible barriers, including: How do you find adaptive baby equipment? How do two disabled parents creatively keep their children safe? How do you get reproductive care when the medical system assumes you aren't able to have kids? What is it like to be in public knowing that someone might call child protective services simply because a parent is disabled? In overcoming these challenges, she describes how disabled parents are oftentimes more prepared to adapt to the demanding nature of parenthood, including the uncertainty of losing control over bodily autonomy. | ||
