Session Abstract

A child’s disability diagnosis affects the mother who must often seek more information when medical professionals, social services, and school personnel do not answer her many questions. Mothers use online informal learning through medical, education, research, news and foundation sites, blogs, and support groups to become educated on disability issues.
