It explores the nature and availability of professional services, while addressing the challenges faced by both caregivers and children. Through real-life narratives and critical reflection, it proposes viable, forward-looking solutions to strengthen support systems and inform policy frameworks. This book is an essential reading for professionals working with disabled children, as well as students, academics, researchers, and policymakers engaged in disability studies and inclusive education.
