Аннотация: The present thesis explores the lives of mothers and fathers with learning difficulties in Austria, focusing on the complex meaning of societal attributions and perceptions for their parental self-understanding.People with learning difficulties are persons labelled with ('intellectual') disabilities and who, because of various barriers in society, experience disablism.The (self-) designation as people with learning difficulties answers to the self-advocacy movement's demand of a less discriminating term.Disability, as deviation from a human standard of 'normality', is shaped through a number of discourses and, at first sight, does not comply with dominant constructs of mother-and fatherhood as well as ideas of familial productivity.The international literature shows that many parents with learning difficulties are subject to child welfare interventions, linked to a global attribution of parental inability towards them.Being labelled as a person with learning difficulties brings some important ramifications and particular challenges for parents.Up until now, no comprehensive research of parenthood with learning difficulties has been undertaken in Austria.Furthermore, in professional practice, there is a lack of human rights-based supports for mothers and fathers with learning difficulties and their children.Drawing from Disability Studies' critique of society and power structures, this thesis follows a participatory approach aiming at bridging research with the interests and positions of disabled people.The research focuses on three specific interests.Using internet-newsgroups as a sample, the first interest aims at understanding how society negotiates the intersection of both parenting and disability.The second targets the perceptions and professional orientations of social work professionals who support parents with learning difficulties.Finally, the third interest looks at the experiences and selfperception of mothers and fathers with learning difficulties.The metatheoretical framework for the methodology of the present study is based on hermeneutic theories of understanding.Considering discoursetheory from a hermeneutic sociology of knowledge, so-called internet-newsgroups were analysed to gain insight into expectations and norms regarding parenting and disability.Interviews with social work professionals were conducted and then analysed in cooperation with a reference group of parents with learning difficulties.Mothers and fathers with learning difficulties were interviewed and those interviews were analysed based on an interpretativephenomenological approach.Attributions to and outside perceptions and selfunderstandings of parents and parenting with learning difficulties were finally brought together through a theoretical discussion.The empirical findings suggest that parents with learning difficulties pursue the fulfilment of gendered and ableist expectations.Their pursuit Inhaltsverzeichnis
