Research Videos

The National Research Center for Parents with Disabilities has a number of videos about the needs, experiences, and challenges that parents with disabilities face in their daily lives. Most recently, we have produced two videos about the the formal and informal supports that women with intellectual and developmental disabilities receive during pregnancy and childbirth. 

The IDD Women's Study: Providers 

Geared toward providers working with women with intellectual and developmental disabilities, this video describes the kinds of supports that women with IDD receive during pregnancy and ways in which providers can improve those supports to provide the best care possible to their clients. 

The IDD Women's Study: Self-Advocates

This video is for women with intellectual and developmental disabilities who want to learn about the kinds of help that women with IDD got during and after pregnancy. We based this video on interviews we had with women who talked to us about their pregnancy and the supports they received from doctors, friends, partners, nurses, social workers, and other community members.
