Common Statistics
- Disabled children of all ages are dependent on their parents to meet their basic care and treatment needs.
- One in two of the children under 2 years was dependent on some form of medical equipment.
- Over four out of ten families said their housing was inappropriate for caring for a disabled child: difficult stairs, lack of space, and a cold and damp environment.
- The most common unmet needs of the child related to learning skills, meeting physical needs, and having someone to discuss their child’s disability with. These unmet needs may also include financial resources, help in planning the child’s future, help with daily care, and knowledge of available services.
Caring for a Disabled Child
A child may have problems with feeding and eating which can be caused by:
- Physical problems that cause difficulty swallowing, chewing, sucking or the digestion of foods.
- Limited mobility, which can make it difficult to sit up to eat or drink.
- A learning disability, which could make it a challenge to learn appropriate behavior at mealtimes.
- It might take longer for your child to be able to feed themselves, but nursing care will facilitate in acquiring these skills.
- Kingsway works collaboratively with early intervention to facilitate this process.
Sleeping and your child:
- Sleep problems can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as muscle spasms or breathing difficulties, depending on their disability.
- Some children do not understand why they need to sleep.
- Kingsway can work with the family and child to identify solutions.
Challenging Behavior:
- Behavior issues are common due to learning and sensory disabilities.
- Communication through a variety of methods should be encouraged to alleviate the frustration.
- Some disabilities result in little or no clear speech, or it may be too slow to develop.
- Kingsway works with the child’s developmental level and encourages communication.
