BODY
The article, Maltreatment Risk among children with disabilities stated that children
with disability are at increase risk of maltreatment. Though there is a gap in the evidence
whether all disability are at equal risk or else, the risk are vary as per type of disability. Further,
results, shows from this article that the risk of maltreatment was actually not consistent across all
disability types. On contrary results also shows that children who suffer from autism have a
lower risk, while children suffer from Down Syndrome or birth defects having a same risk as
children without disability (Maclean and et.al., 2017). Hence, it is reflected that prevalence of
disability in the child protection system also suggest a need of awareness. Along with this, when
a child suffer from any disability then, they specially require support from their family so that
they will easily manage any complex problem. Article also reveal that when they get support
from their family then the chance of improvement are increases and parents are also support to
their children even in complex environment.
The article, educational disabilities among children born with neonatal abstinence
Syndrome, stated that adverse neuro- behavioral outcomes are actually documented especially
in infants. The article, analyzed the need for special education services among the infants who
are born with Neonatal Abstinence syndrome (NAS). In order to conduct the study, infants who
were born in Teenessee during 2008 an 2011, were actually matched to those infants who born
in same year without having this NAS disease. For that 1815 children who are suffer from this
disease from their birth and 5441 children assessed without NAS. Thus, results shows that
children who faces this issue are more likely face subsequent educational disability and as a
result, they are also not treated fairly with others (Fill and et.al., 2018). Thus, result reveals that
if a children face any disability from their birth, then most of the country did not provide enough
education to these child and as a result, this will lead to discrimination as well.
