Supporting Pregnant People with Disabilities: The APAP Intervention

Description

Pregnant people with disabilities often encounter healthcare systems unprepared to support them: providers unfamiliar with their bodies, physical barriers that shouldn’t exist, and assumptions that interfere with good care.

The Accessible Pregnancy Action Plan (APAP) is a peer-led intervention that helps pregnant people with disabilities identify what matters most and develop a concrete plan to get there. Working with a trained peer facilitator, participants think through their needs during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum – medical, practical, physical, and emotional.

This event is being hosted by Southeast Center and it will be held on via Zoom. Register here: https://adasoutheast.org/events/supporting-pregnant-people-with-disabilities-the-apap-intervention/
