Summary
Fathers with intellectual disabilities often face challenges in parenting due to inadequate social support. Despite experiencing discrimination and unmet needs, they remain determined to fulfill their paternal roles.
Area of Science:
- Disability Studies
- Family Studies
- Psychology
Background:
- Fathers with intellectual disabilities encounter parenting challenges influenced by external factors.
- Parenting quality is contingent upon the availability and adequacy of social support systems.
- Understanding the lived experiences of social support is crucial for this demographic.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the lived experiences of fathers with intellectual disabilities concerning social support.
- To identify factors influencing the parenting role of fathers with intellectual disabilities.
Main Methods:
- Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) guided the research design and data analysis.
- Semi-structured interviews were conducted with a sample of 20 fathers with intellectual disabilities.
Main Results:
- Emergent themes included discrepancies between support needs and provision.
- Participants reported experiences of discriminatory practices and feelings of disempowerment.
- Recognition of existing support, both positive and negative, was a key finding.
Conclusions:
- Fathers reported negative experiences hindering paternal competence and fostering loneliness.
- Despite inadequate support, fathers expressed determination to fulfill their parenting roles.
- The findings highlight the need for tailored support services for fathers with intellectual disabilities.

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
