Describes the work of Parents Together, a pioneering action research project, which set out to support parents with learning difficulties in ways that were non stigmatising, non intrusive, and responsive to their own experience. Used an advocacy approach to challenge discriminatory views of parents' competence and lighten the load on families by reducing the environmental pressures that undermined them. Combines a full account and evaluation of the project with detailed practice guidance.
