Care System

Polish child care system for the disabled children offers some interesting solutions. However, lack of coherence in the management of individual groups of small-child outreach facilities makes it impossible for some solutions to be fully implemented. This problem concerns the system of nurseries and early support for the development of children.

Care System

To inform the development of an inclusive national child care system for all families and children, we examine the institutional interactions of 127 Canadian families with disabled children. Our analysis demonstrates that families participated in numerous early-years services, but 79.5% experienced exclusion. Using an institutional ethnography lens, we illustrate that exclusion occurs through policy and regulations families confront to gain entry, maintain enrolment, and contend with professional meta-texts. Key rights-based, economic, and inclusion policy considerations are provided. Our research and policy considerations recognize not only the importance of inclusion in child care but also the role of child care in creating inclusive communities.

Weight For Age

The aim of the present study was to explore the nature, extent and probable causes of nutritional deficiencies among children with disabilities living in Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai, India. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate whether the nutritional status of children with disabilities, aged 2–6 years (n141), was worse than that of non-disabled sibling controls (n122) and neighbour controls (n162). Data on food patterns, anthropometry, micronutrient status and feeding difficulties reported by parents were collected. The mean weight for age of the children with disabilities (−2·44 (sd 1·39)Zscores;n120) was significantly lower (P<0·05) compared with the sibling (−1·70 (sd 1·20)Zscores;n109) and neighbour (−1·83 (sd 1·290)Zscores;n162) control groups. The children with disabilities had significantly lower (P<0·05) mean haemoglobin levels (92 (sd 23) g/l;n134) compared with siblings (102 (sd 18) g/l;n103) and neighbours (99 (sd 18) g/l;n153). Relative risk (RR) analysis indicated that the disabled children with feeding difficulties were significantly more likely (P<0·05) to be malnourished, by the indicator of weight for age (RR 1·1; 95 % CI 1·08, 1·20) compared with the disabled children without a feeding difficulty. They were also significantly more likely to be malnourished using the indicators of height for age (RR 1·3; 95 % CI 1·19, 1·43) and weight for height (RR 2·4; 95 % CI 1·78, 3·23) compared with the disabled children without a feeding difficulty. Feeding difficulties were identified as a risk factor for vulnerability to inadequate nutritional status among children with disabilities.

Tax Cuts

The recent swing towards a more conservative (Liberal) federal political agenda in Australia parallels similar trends in Canada. A basic tenet of this neo-conservative approach is the reduction of education, health and welfare budgets, along with tax cuts to encourage business and corporate development. Policies are presented within a free market, user pays, corporate framework. Program reductions are justified through an anti professional/reduced government philosophy. This paper analyses the development of the child care system in one province of Canada. The analysis demonstrates that, despite manifold distributions to the child care system, the lack of a constitutional dimension has left the program vulnerable. In the uproar over larger programs, the dismantling of a public system of child care is proceeding quietly and with little protest. Analyses of the activities that predicated this demise present a warning as comparable circumstances arise in Australia.

The Disabled

The present study aimed to explore the psychological security level of the disabled children in Qatar. The sample consists from 2735 female and male children. The psychological security scale was used. This scale was developed by Habeeb (2013). It consists from 20 items. It sheds a light on four dimensions of psychological security; (personal security, social acceptance, emotional security, and self-esteem). The validity and reliability of the scale were measured and considered satisfactory. It was found that the mean of the emotional security is ranked first, followed by the means of social acceptance, personal security and self-esteem respectively. It was found that the psychological security level of the respondents is moderate. It was found that the psychological security level is not affected by the type of the family that one lives in. The types of families include: stable families, families in which the parents are divorced and families in which one of the parents passed away.It was found that the psychological security level isaffected by the disability type. It was found that the psychological security level is affected by the type ofthe school that one is enrolled at. For instance, the students enrolled in public schools show a higher psychological security level than the students enrolled in private schools. The researchers suggest several recommendations and suggestions for researchers.
