| Abstract: | The study focused on the socio-economic challenges faced by children with disabilities in Kajjansi Town Council, Wakiso District. The study was utile because it examined both the peculiar and general socio-economic challenges faced by children with discernible and nondiscernible disabilities among the children aged 0 to 17 years in Kajjansi Town Council. |
| Description: | The study found that cases of disability in children in Kajjansi Town Council were various. While some children were afflicted by physical disability, others suffered from mental/cognition impairment. Generally, some children were limbless, those incapacitated by spinal cord injuries, those who were epileptic, those who were dumb and mute, those who stuttered, those with hearing impairment, and others. The study found that children with disabilities generally lacked access to basic services; often fail to access education facilities and instructional and scholastic materials; failed to access legal assistance when in need of it; failed to access professional counselling. The study also found that access to recreation facilities was difficult for children with physical disabilities in places that are far from their homes, although, at home, they would play with the rest of their colleagues and siblings. |
