What are the impacts of a disabled child on the family?

No problem.

Thank you very much!

The impact of a disabled child on the family was also negative. Traditional beliefs dictate that people believe that having a disabled child is punishment for something that a family member or their ancestors have done in the past. Families are marginalized and “mocked.” Having a disabled child creates many tensions within the family. There are fears over what people think, and/or blame is apportioned. It also places an extra financial strain on families. A parent may have to stay at home from work to look after the child. Medical or rehabilitation services that may be available are costly.
