Reflections from running a support group for dads of children with disabilities and/or developmental difficulties

Abstract

This reflective article explores my own personal experiences of finding out my child had an autism diagnosis, my journey as a parent and how this led me into psychology. It shares reflections from my six-year experience of delivering a support group for dads of children with disabilities/developmental difficulties and provides some insights into why we should engage more with fathers and how we could adapt practice to enable this.
