Free Pregnancy and Parenting Forum
At the forum, the community can learn more about our project, hear our key findings, and listen to a panel of professionals and individuals with lived experience. Panelists will share their advice and identify gaps in supporting individuals with disabilities to become pregnant and parent a child.
Attendees will also have access to a free, on-site vaccine clinic between 12:00 and 4:00 pm! COVID-19 and flu vaccines will be available. Bring your insurance information, but those without insurance are still welcome.
The Pregnancy and Parenting Study—a collaboration between Ability360, Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association, March of Dimes, Raising Special Kids, and the University of Arizona Sonoran Center for Excellence in Disabilities—aims to gain information about the needs, preferences, and experiences of individuals with a disability in their decision-making, health care, and support to become pregnant and parent a child. This needs assessment study is being conducted by a workgroup of organizational representatives who are exploring the current status and identifying issues that can be responded to through resource sharing, training, and grant development following feedback from participants.
