Children with Disabilities

04/01/2012

  • Look for ways to include children with disabilities in community activities.
     
  • Talk to your child about how children with disabilities have the same rights, and should have the same opportunities, as other children.
     
  • Support parents of children with disabilities by offering to help in childcare responsibilities.
     
  • Help families that include children with disabilities stay together.
     
  • If your child has a disability, talk to your local health care provider about whether your child needs rehabilitation or other health care support, as well as where you can access these services.
     
  • If your child has a disability, talk to the administrators and teachers at your child's school to find out what special education services are available to support your child and whether specially-trained teachers are on staff to ensure an appropriate, quality education for your child.
     
  • Think about how your neighborhood's environment can be made more accessible for children with disabilities.
