Mentally and physically disabled children are often not integrated into society, often they do not even receive adequate medical care, and the vulnerability of these children is even greater. Relevant studies show that poverty in an area, lack of access to nutritious food, exposure to environmental factors and pathogens, and social and other risks influence the incidence of disability. Insufficient living space proves to be particularly negative for children with disabilities. Unfortunately, the prevailing opinion in affected families is still that locking these children away in the house is the best way to protect them. What is alarming is that the evidence of abuse is becoming more and more frequent. The type of abuse experienced by disabled children is often related to the nature of their disabilities: mentally and physically disabled children are more likely to be sexually abused, while children with learning disabilities experience particularly high levels of neglect and bullying. The result is a lifelong dependence on the family for care.
