Hi, All:  My PhD OT (Occupational Therapy) daughter needs to write a paper
and wants address the issue of any or all of the above mentioned classes
being offered for the mother with disabilities (physical as well as
mental).  I told her I wasn't aware of any of these classes being offered
specifically for the disabled woman and I am not aware of any curricula out
there either.  When I encounter a couple with a disability, I tailor the
class to their learning needs as best I can within the usual class
structure and this seems to work out well usually.  There are some limited
curricula out there for parents with disabilities, which she has tapped
into but is really interested in prenatal classes.  I've also checked with
several area childbirth educators and heads of perinatal education programs
at hospitals in the area and have come up empty.

Do any of you know of sources, even in other countries?  She does not have
to limit herself to what's being done in the US.  Thanks in advance.
