Disabled fathers: Listen up!

June 13th, 2008 · No Comments

More research coming your way (this is a good thing, IMO!), this time focussing on the experiences of disabled fathers. So if you’re a Dad and you have some sort of impairment and wouldn’t mind sharing your stories and experiences, have a read of the following!

The experiences of disabled fathers in New Zealand remain invisible, yet they are essential to influence policy changes which will improve the wellbeing of disabled men and their families.

To explore this area, researchers from AUT University, working alongside Diversityworks Group, are leading a study exploring disabled men’s perspectives on parenting and issues they would like addressed.

We would like to talk to men living in and around Auckland, who:

  • Are 18 or over
  • Live with a physical and/or sensory disability
  • And have a youngest child under the age of 5

If you would like to take part, freephone 0508 BEING A DAD (0508 234 642) or flick an email to Marta Leete ( mleete@aut.ac.nz)
