STRESS AND DEPRESSION AMONG THE DISABILITIES: Awakening the World to a Special Needs Challenge

This book took the initiative to research and document to the reality of people with special needs,those with disabilities and their families through in-depth studies aimed at generating evidence about their situation and by doing so, it hopes to encourage greater national commitment to children with disabilities and also providing solutions to the special needs and the information the world needs to know in supporting and preventing the stigma.

The multiple-continent study is an effort to make the situation of people with special needs and disabilities more visible, so that individuals, parents, community leaders, policy makers, as well as child rights activists and their organizations, commit themselves to better protecting and promoting the rights of children with disabilities. And also provide solutions,thus reducing the numbers of disabilities across the world.

This book study seeks to analyse the stigma , cultural, social, physical and other societal barriers that prevent children with disabilities from enjoying their constitutional rights to equality, freedom and human dignity. It also promises to establish opportunities and practices that could be used to address these barriers to enhance the participation of people with special needs in the society.
