Product Description:

The experience of pregnancy and disability has been referred to as ?a double dose of disequilibrium?. Pregnancy, on its own, can result in profound physical and psychological changes for adolescents and young women. The impact that the pregnancy has on a disability (and of disability on a pregnancy) necessitates the implementation of planning and appropriate supports. This article is a review of literature around family planning for adolescents and young women with disabilities.
