Mothers with Disabilities and Their Children: An Invisible Perspective

Abstract

The challenges faced by children of parents with disabilities and their unique learning needs have profound effects on both individual and societal development. However, the limited number of studies in the literature on this important topic is far from fully addressing the needs of these children for protection and comprehensive support mechanisms. This situation requires new approaches to be developed by looking at the life experiences of these children from a different paradigm.

The main purpose of this letter to the editor is to be the voice of children with disabilities and to draw attention to the difficulties they face. Inviting the academic community to take action to overcome the lack of knowledge in this field with a multidisciplinary perspective is one of the most important motivations of this article.
