While it is well-established that parents with disabilities and their families are over-represented in the child welfare system, no known research has described the parents,' child welfare professionals,' and attorneys' perspectives on the system's capacity to support them or their recommendations for improvement. This qualitative phenomenological study involved semi-structured interviews with 15 disabled parents, 15 child welfare professionals, and 15 parent attorneys. Respondents agreed that the child welfare system lacks expertise on disability and adequate services for disabled parents, and holds negative attitudes about them. Respondents recommended robust training for professionals on parents with disabilities, and individually-tailored services for disabled parents.
虽然残疾父母及其家庭在儿童福利系统中的占比过高已是公认的事实，但尚无已知研究描述父母、儿童福利专业人员和律师对该系统支持他们的能力的看法或他们的改进建议。这项定性现象学研究包括对15名残疾父母、15名儿童福利专业人员和15名父母律师进行半结构化访谈。受访者一致认为，儿童福利系统缺乏关于残疾的专业知识，为残疾父母提供的服务不足，并且对他们持有负面态度。受访者建议为专业人员提供关于残疾父母的强化培训，并为残疾父母提供个性化服务。
