Quality of Life and Family Quality of Life have become important issues in the field of disabilities and beyond and include understanding the experiences of children with disabilities and their siblings and parents, who together, are facing all manner of challenges in their families across a wide spectrum of experience throughout the life span. With this in mind, we invite the submission of articles across the full range of family related issues, articles that speak to an array of approaches to practice, assessment, and to the identification of supports that have been developed or are being piloted as well as to issues of policy. Where possible, we believe it important to include examples of effective support and successful outcomes that increase individual and/or family quality of life and wellbeing. We also welcome articles on allied topics, keeping in mind the audience of the International Journal of Child, Youth and Family Studies.
Articles should be no more than 35 pages double spacing including tables and references.
