Opis

Being parents of a child is a unique experience for everyone. Although to be a parent of disabled child demands lot of patience and care. Parents of disabled children have significant experience in the society. In a country like India where disability is considered less important than other serious issues like poverty, unemployment and population, experience can be harder. Parents may face many experiences due to disabled children which can be positive or negative. Although, it may be difficult to get positive experience for parents of disabled children. Therefore aim of writing this book is to find the experience of parents of disabled children in rural and urban parts of India. The experiences have been divided in economical and socio emotional parts. The experience from both rural and urban parents has been compared in this book to find where parents have positive experience.
