Galway University researchers conducting study into raising children with disabilities

Researchers in Galway University are calling on parents to tell them what it is like to raise a child with a disability.

They are conducting an international study on the impact on relationships of having children with non-physical disabilities in particular.

The team would like to hear from Irish couples about their experiences and say previous research has seen mostly mums reply and as a result a large piece of the picture is missing.

They have launched an online survey and are asking couples to fill it out.
