The articles in this journal combine practical solutions and positive choices – approaches that we hope you will find useful and inspirational. A parent shares her feelings about the personal qualities her daughter has developed as a result of her mother’s disability. We look at issues about carrying young children on wheelchairs. If you carry your child on your chair, how do you make sure that both of you are safe and comfortable; and is it legal to carry your child in this way outside your home? Innovative ideas for equipment adaptations are suggested. Some are simple and easily made; others may require technical assistance. A service tailored specifically to meet the needs of deaf parents is described in each of the examples of good practice. Following on from last issue’s feature about disabled parents and housing, the research article discusses the needs of those who are wheelchair users, exploring ways of achieving inclusive solutions.
