This paper is based upon a project that explores the pressures facing mothers of children with disabilities. In particular the paper touches on how policies relating to housing, education, childcare, and community living impact on the lives of women. "....the impact of a disability on a person and their family, and the subsequent handicapping effect of the disability is directly related to social factors: issues of public policy. The disability can't be changed but public policy and practice can and should be changed". Keyword: Families
