Learning Objectives:
After the completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:
Define eugenics and its relationship to the forced sterilization of people with disabilities in the United States;
Identify instances of bias and discrimination against individuals with disabilities becoming parents;
Identify successful strategies, including the use of assistive technology, in becoming successful parents; and
Identify barriers parents with disabilities face in supporting their families, especially if their children have disabilities themselves.
