Disability and Developmental Disorders in Children

This volume offers a grounded, field-based perspective on disability, enriched by secondary research and clear theoretical insights. With a special focus on learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), it presents complex concepts in accessible language, making it an invaluable resource for a wide readership. Drawing primarily from the Indian context, the book also engages with international perspectives to compare and contrast key aspects such as legal frameworks, prevalence, health outcomes, and systemic challenges. 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.
