Caring for a foster child with disability

Life as a specialist foster carer

Caring for a foster child with a disability is a rich and rewarding experience. It requires a significant commitment and more complex care, so it's important that both you and anyone else in your household is committed to this journey. Our foster carers tell us it's a practical way they can use their skills and life experience to help create a better future for a child with a disability. Foster parents tell us life can follow a similar pattern, whenever a child arrives in their home. But there are additional things you'll need to know if you're considering opening your home and heart to a child with a disability.
