This book attempts to study the developmental perspectives and educational initiatives for children with disabilities. Gaining an understanding and conceptual clarity on disability, it reviews the existing models and explanations of disability. Examining the theoretical explorations of the psychosocial responses of families of children with special needs, it analyses the rights of children with disability. It also takes a close look at the philosophy, perspectives and initiatives for inclusive education for disabled children. Lessons of inclusive education drawn from high income nations have been discussed in detail as well.
