The Meaning of Childhood Disability Among Immigrant and Refugee Parents
Parental perspectives on childhood disability shape the healthcare experiences and well-being of children and families. Understanding the perspectives of immigrant and refugee parents is essential for providing culturally safe and responsive services, supports, interventions, and plans of care. This integrative review examined how immigrant and refugee parents living in Canada and the United States understand and make meaning of their children's …
Perceived Changes in Attitudes and Behavioral Intentions Among Postsecondary Students Following Instructors’ Disclosures of Mental Illness and/or Neurodiversity
Little is known about how postsecondary students experience instructors’ disclosures of mental illness and/or neurodiversity in the classroom. This exploratory study queried students’ ( n = 330) understandings of how these revelations shaped their perceptions of disclosing instructors, behavioral intentions, and attitudes toward mental illness. Most students reported that instructors’ disclosures had positively influenced their perceptions of the…
A challenging little balance
Though the benefits of doula care in reducing birth inequities and mitigating obstetric violence are well established, little is known about how White doulas from mainstream training programs (most doulas in Canada) understand and implement anti-oppressive practice (AOP) in different sociocultural contexts. Guided by interpretative phenomenological analysis, we conducted life history and semi-structured interviews with five White doulas working i…
Postsecondary instructors’ disclosures of mental illness and neurodiversity in the classroom
Existing literature has described a diverse array of motivations for postsecondary instructors’ disclosures of mental illness in higher education classrooms. These motivations lack integration and have been discussed mainly in isolation from corresponding practices, audiences, mediums, contexts, and diagnoses. We conducted a series of focus group interviews and gathered reflective narratives and questionnaire data with six postsecondary instructo…
Reciprocal Disclosures
Studies suggest students are more likely to disclose personal challenges to postsecondary instructors who are public about living with mental illness and/or neurodivergence. This study explored how six postsecondary instructors who live openly with mental illness and/or neurodivergence in Western Canada experienced students’ disclosures of personal challenges. Data from reflective narratives, focus group interviews, and open-ended questionnaires …

Overgrown Children” and Where to Find Them
Though young adult coresidence (in which individuals aged 18–35 reside within the family home) is stigmatized in mass media, research has not explored how such depictions relate to understandings of development. We used qualitative content analysis to explore how contemporary Canadian and American films depicted coresiding young adults and their similarly aged, residentially independent siblings with respect to various markers of adulthood. We fo…
Individual, failing
Although researchers have observed that film depictions of young adult coresiders (i.e. young adults who live with their parents) tend to be negative, no research has systematically analyzed or explored such portrayals. Adapting Qualitative Content Analysis, this study examined portrayals of Canadian and American young adult/parent coresidence in films released between 2010 and 2020, seeking to ascertain the explanations for coresidence, (i.e. ho…
Tactics and Strategies of Family Adaptation among Parents Caring for Children and Youth with Developmental Disabilities
The stressors experienced by families caring for children and youth with developmental disabilities (DD) impact quality of life for all family members. Families employ creative practices to cope and thrive in the midst of such challenges. This study sought to understand the adaptive practices, tactics, and strategies engaged in by parents. We interviewed 39 parents of 46 children and youth with DD in Canada. Thematic analysis elucidated three cat…
Understanding Gut Feelings
Past studies have revealed a dizzying array of coping techniques employed by persons living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Unfortunately, research has provided little insight into when and why individuals adopt or abandon particular coping strategies. Using a retrospective narrative approach, we explored how participants made sense of changes in their approach to coping over time. Shifts in coping strategies were associated with particula…
Why do working relationships not change? The need for a new approach to disability partnership research and social change
Although researchers, service providers, and clients are determined to improve partnerships within disability services, a lack of partnership persists. Using our research as a case study, we reflect on three limitations of common research methods and social change techniques in this area. We suggest that typical approaches struggle to move beyond taken-for-granted ideas, common-sense solutions, and established ideology in the field of disability.…
I am Many
In this article we examine the construction of self following acquired brain injury from an experience-centered perspective. Life history and semistructured interview transcripts collected from four brain injury survivors were analyzed using thematic, syntactic, and deep structure analysis. Though notions of the "lost" or "shattered" self have dominated discussions of personhood in the acquired brain injury literature, we argue that this perspect…
