Abstract
A commentary to a study which examined parents' concepts of child impairment and disability is presented. The labeling of disabled children by society and within the health service have a negative effect on the level of care received. There needs to be a shift towards participatory health care which recognizes the expert knowledge possessed by parents in relation to their child's needs.
