It discusses the extent to which the needs of the disabled and their caregivers have been met by health and welfare initiatives, and finds substantial gaps. The book describes vividly how the families of children with disability negotiate the uncertain journey of identifying their child's disability, obtaining a diagnosis, accessing appropriate services and their ongoing efforts to reconcile with and recognise their child's unique situation and mode of being. It critically examines the gendered dimensions involved in caregiving, the role of the state and civil society, and the legal and institutional frameworks in place. The book calls for inclusion of disability treatment at the primary care level, enhanced technology use for diagnosis and information, coordinated national level disability care policy formulation and organised action by the disabled and their caregivers to ensure their needs are addressed by the state and society.People with disabilitiesCarePeople with disabilitiesSocial conditionsDisabilitiesSocial aspectsElectronic books.People with disabilitiesCare.People with disabilitiesSocial conditions.DisabilitiesSocial aspects.362.4/048Chakravarti Upali1049120CaToSAGECaToSAGEUtOrBLWBOOK9910466618503321Disability and care work2477838UNINA
