Explanation of the requirements:

Notability

And the main contents of the sources is about the topic 'parents with disabilities' or closely relevant aspects of this topic. Also the article is required on the ‘WikiPedia:Requested Article’ page, which means a separate page of this topic is needed. The topic 'parents with disabilities' is about a phenomenon which has always been existing, so it's not temporally notable. Besides, there is no related pages or any other pages including context about the topic existing.

Neutrality

My page meets the requirements of neutrality because the article list and explain the sides instead of taking them. The article describes different views published in reliable resources, without being biased or using biased tone. Opinions and facts are not mixed or defined as each other. Appropriate weight is given to each view depends on whether it is majority or minority. And the article only represents significant points of view which are published. No opinion which held only by tiny minority is presented in the page. I will fairly illustrate viewpoints published in reliable resources in this page accurately, without bias.

My page meets the requirement of no original research because only reliable and published resources are used. And the resources are directly relative to the topic. None of new conclusion, analysis, opinion or synthesis is included in the page. The page doesn’t contain any of my own opinion about the topic or my conclusion based on the resources. I will only collect and rewrite the information from resources without changing original points of the publisher or providing new opinions.
