Are you a parent with a disability? Would you like to share your story on our community blog?
The National Research Center for Parents with Disabilities, a program of the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University, is currently looking for parents with disabilities to contribute to a quarterly blog on the experiences and needs of parents with disabilities. Contributors will be paid $100 per accepted submission.
Topic:
Whether it's a memory you cherish, or a tradition that you enjoy every year, we'd love to hear about it! Text entries should be about 1,000 words. Please submit your entries via email.
Tips:
- Traditions can be something new you invented with your family, or something old that has been passed down.
- Traditions could be elaborate like a vacation or simple like reading a special book.
- We're not allowed to talk about politics because our program receives federal funding. Avoid writing posts that directly support or oppose political candidates, ballot questions or propositions, or government officials. Other than that, though, we're fairly open.
The NRCPD believes in placing parents with disabilities at the forefront, and one way to do that is invite them to share their own experiences. We are interested in bringing together a racially, culturally, and experientially diverse group of people to contribute.
Submissions will be accepted until January 10, 2022.
