Norfolk Disabled Parents Alliance includes all disabled parents, parents-to-be, adoptive and foster parents, and others interested in disability, family or community welfare.

We say "disabled parent" when we mean a parent who finds physical barriers and social attitudes make it difficult to live like everyone else. This can happen when buildings and services are not planned for people with impairments.

This way of thinking about disability is called the Social Model of Disability.
