Physical Disabilities

Physical disabilities refer to impairments that affect a child's physical functioning and mobility. These disabilities can result from congenital conditions, acquired injuries, or medical conditions and may impact movement, coordination, muscle strength, and balance. Physical disabilities vary in severity and may require accommodations, assistive devices, and therapeutic interventions to promote independence and participation in daily activities.

How Does it Affect Special Children:

Children with physical disabilities may face challenges in accessing educational materials, navigating the school environment, and participating in physical activities. These challenges can impact their academic achievement, social interactions, and overall well-being, as they may experience barriers to inclusion and participation in school and community settings. Physical disabilities may also affect a child's self-esteem and confidence, as they navigate the physical and social challenges associated with their disability.
