| Summary: | The aim of this essay is to draw on themes in the work of the late Donald Eric Capps with the aim of renewing the practices of hospitality, care, and friendship with 'the other' in illuminating the experiences of families who have a child that is disabled. The essay incorporates the author's own experiences of living with a child who has disabilities and interacts with contemporary literature of disability studies in order to facilitate increased effectiveness in caring for families who are affected by disability. The article aims at fostering a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding the barriers and pitfalls to participation of children with disabilities and their families in life. The themes of acceptance, understanding and reciprocity are presented as catalysts for the cultivation of renewed practices of mature moral vision and commitment to care for 'the other.' |
