摘要

Purpose

Little is known in research terms about post separation child contact for children with disabilities. In particular, there is a lack of understanding about contact in the aftermath of domestic violence and abuse.

Method

This critical commentary offers an exposition of Gregory et al.’s (2024) contribution to existing knowledge. Within Gregory et al. (2024), qualitative research findings on children with disabilities’ experiences are captured from the mother’s perspective as victims/survivors of abuse, through in-depth interviews. The intention is to extend Gregory et al.’s (2024) contribution using theoretically informed commentary which is framed within a social model of disability. Specifically, an elaboration of the relevance of Gregory et al.’s (2024) contribution to wider debates engendered within disability activism and academe will be achieved. To undertake this work, the methodology used in this article is critical application of three defining principles of the social model. Firstly, the principle is applied that impairment and disability are distinct and non-causal. Secondly, the contention that societal barriers and discrimination have disabling effects on children with impairments is critically applied. Thirdly and finally, the need to challenge a deficit view of children with disabilities is considered with reference to Gregory et al.’s (2024) findings.

Results

Conventions of a social model illuminate how disability presents, in the context of post separation child contact, and domestic violence and abuse.

Conclusion

Gregory et al.’s (2024) research makes a welcomed contribution in a space where disability has been poorly represented.
