Did you know that four years ago today, South Carolina passed
the SC Persons with Disabilities Right to Parent Act?
This means that no parent in South Carolina can be denied the right to parent based on their disability.
We know that it can be hard to understand your rights and keep up with new laws, which is why we've created easy-to-read factsheets for you!
By making this information more understandable and accessible, we hope that more parents with disabilities and professionals will be aware of these rights and help prevent discrimination. If you are a parent and you have a disability or health condition, these resources are for you. If you are a practicing lawyer, these resources are for you. If you are a child welfare provider, these resources are for you. Just click the links below!
