“We are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of at-risk parents with learning difficulties and their children. This primarily includes parents who may be identified as persons with intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning”
We know that:
Family life is complex
All families need support and rely on interdependent networks
Separation from parents is in the best interest of children only when reasonable efforts and appropriate services cannot ensure a child’s safety and health
Termination of the parental relationship should not be based upon a parent’s disability alone
Our expertise and resources may also benefit parents with other cognitive challenges and the people who support them
