This chapter describes the impact that fathers of children with disabilities can have through their creative work as artists. Michael Bérubé, Gusti, Pierre Mertens, and Dan Habib are advocates for their children and for people with disabilities, using their artistic talents as writers, illustrators/storytellers, and documentary filmmakers. In keeping with the ideas of Disability Studies in Education, our four artists provide us with deep and rich accounts of their lives with the children. Their personal narratives are combined with social criticism. This ensures that ‘rusty’ stereotypes are challenged and values such as inclusion and respect are promoted.
