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.

The development of the construction basics of pedagogical technology for social experience formation of preschoolers interacting with disabled children is relevant. We analyze the basic definitions of pedagogical technology and its main characteristics: scientific validity, procedurality, integrity, focus on solving pedagogical tasks, practical applicability, effectiveness, completeness. The difficulties of developing pedagogical technology for the formation of social experience, taking into account their interaction with children with disabilities, are revealed. The substantiated successive stages of the developed pedagogical technology are diagnostic ascertaining, analytical-designing, effective-regulatory, reflexive-controlling. The revealed specifics of each of the stages, manifested when working in the conditions of interaction of preschoolers with peers with disabilities should be considered when planning and implementing pedagogical procedures. We reveal difficulties of realization of the designated stages of pedagogical technology of social experience formation of preschoolers and offer variants of their constructive overcoming. Formation technologies for related constructions in the psyche of preschoolers interacting with peers with disabilities (social intelligence, social competencies, social representations, etc.) can also be developed based on the selected stages. The results obtained can also be useful in the framework of the organization of experimental work with children studying at other stages of the educational process, since they are largely devoted to the basic basics of building pedagogical technology, rather than specifically developing technologies for working with preschoolers.

What are the best ways of finding families for disabled children? Who chooses to have them and why? Hedi Argent identifies some of the needs of disabled children who require permanent care and explores the type of qualities to look for, and those to avoid, in the search for prospective carers. Taking the case of George, among others, she emphasises the importance of devising recruitment publicity that is specially tailored to fit the situation of each individual child. Given the right approach, she argues, carers can be found for even the most severely impaired children. This article is based on the book, Taking Extra Care — Respite, shared and permanent care for children with disabilities (BAAF, 1997), by Hedi Argent and Ailie Kerrane.

The urgency of the issue under study is due to dynamics of the number of children with disabilities in the country and in particular regions. For instance, the total number of disabled children in Russia receiving social pensions between the ages of 0 and 18 was more than 655 thousand, as of January 1, 2018. At the same time, an increase of this indicator is observed constantly. The need to develop scientifically based recommendations for the establishment of rehabilitation centers is due to the fact, that in most cases this assistance is provided in the adapted premises. It is not possible to carry out correctional work effectively. The article’s purpose is to identify factors in the formation of architectural environment of rehabilitation centers for children and adolescents with various disabilities. The systematic method of analyzing the objects in question is the leading approach to studying this problem. Identified factors are divided into external and internal. The external are natural, climatic and anthropogenic factors. Internal include functional and technological, medical and ergonomic, sanitary and hygienic, architectural and stylistic factors. All factors are interrelated. This is reflected in a pilot project of a rehabilitation center for children and adolescents in the Oryol Region. The materials of the article can be useful for architects when designing rehabilitation centers for children and adolescents with various disabilities.

Academic Year

In an open letter addressed to Israeli educators, Rabbi Shai Piron, then Education Minister, announced the theme of the 2013–14 academic year to be ‘Him Is Me’. As part of the implementation of Piron's programme, the Ministry published a list of recommended children's books about ‘the Other’, which is still used by educators. This article reflects upon and analyses books for ages four to eight included in this list that focus on children with disabilities. At first glance, it seems that the books call for full social inclusion of disabled children, thereby accomplishing the goals set by the ministry. However, a thorough textual analysis raises questions as to the true messages hidden between the lines of some of the works, questions about how far ‘otherness’ is embraced and acknowledged.

Life Circumstances

Background: Parents of children with disabilities have faced difficulties in looking after their children, be it socially, economically and financially. Parents in rural areas are mainly left with a huge burden, as there is a lack of services and support from both the state and non-governmental organisations. Parents in Sekhukhune district, a rural area in Limpopo province of South Africa, face challenges in raising their disabled children related to lack of resources and lack of services at their disposal.Objectives: This study focuses on the experiences and life circumstances faced by parents of children living with different types of disabilities at Lehlaba Protective Workshop in Sekhukhune district of Limpopo province, South Africa.Method: The study consisted of 14 participants who are parents of children living with disabilities. An interview guide with a set of questions was utilised to gather data. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and themes that emerged were grouped together.Results: Themes that emerged from the data showed that most of the participants had varying understandings on the causes of disabilities to their children. The participants also were of the view that a ‘cure’ for disability was available medically, spiritually or through traditional African medicine. The study also brought the notion of absent fathers, as most men do not want to be associated with children who are disabled. Stigmatisation of the parents was also a theme that the study revealed. The parents are subjected to name labelling as they are viewed to be practising witchcraft or to be paying for their sins they committed.Conclusion: Parents of children with disabilities are in their own battle in raising their children. There is a lack of support structures available for parents of children living with disabilities. There is a lack of legislation available for protecting and promoting the rights of children with disabilities. The researchers concluded that raising a child with a disability is expensive, time-consuming and straining.

Access To Medical Care

The purpose of this study is the identification of types of communication among physicians and parents of disabled children, who have congenital or acquired pathologies and who need treatment and rehabilitation. The focal point of the study is the assumption that the communication between the doctor and the child’s parents should be based on trust. It is one of the factors influencing the availability of medical care for children with disabilities. The study uses a structured in-depth interview (19). There is much evidence that doctors and parents prefer a paternalistic type of communication unlike partner, contractual or engineering. Our conclusion is that in a medical institution within the established bureaucratic type of organisational culture, recorded in our earlier study, the conditions for the professional activities of doctors and parents with disabled children receiving help are perceived by them as the most comfortable, since they correspond to their value orientations and expectations.   Keywords: Disabled children, access to medical care, doctor, parents, communication.
