Positive Powerful Parents (PPP) is a self advocacy group in Australia run by and for parents with an intellectual disability. PPP are currently running the Hand In Hand project which seeks to educate government and the community about the needs of families where a parent has an intellectual disability.
The Hand In Hand Parent Meeting was held in Melbourne on the 19th of September 2018. This meeting aimed to capture the authentic voices of parents with intellectual disability about their experiences with the services and supports available to them to support their parenting. This report is an outcome of that meeting. It shares the stories of parents with intellectual disabilities. It has been written for DHHS workers, NDIS workers, families, health workers, disability workers, advocates and anyone interested in the rights of parents with an intellectual disability.
