Abstract This paper describes how, over a twelve month period, parents of children with disabilities used and were impacted by an Internet-based information and support project. 89 urban and rural families were recruited, half of whom served as a comparison. Every family reported benefits from their use of the NNCF, although pre- and post-project measures were unable to show quantitative gains in empowerment or social support.
