The importance of family support for children with special needs

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

 

Children with special needs require a deep understanding of their necessities and thoughtful guidance from their families. The family is not only the first environment in which a child grows but also the primary source of emotional support and care. This support enhances effective communication with the community and allows for specialized care for their mental and physical health through early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, contributing to better meeting their needs.
Jawad’s family was a role model in this matter, as they showed a deep understanding of their child’s needs and provided the necessary health and psychological care. By visiting the Kurdish Red Crescent prosthetics and rehabilitation center, the child received psychological support and physical therapy. Additionally, two lower limbs were manufactured for him, which significantly helped him integrate with his peers and manage his daily activities better.

Providing milk to babies during humanitarian crises is an important issue that requires special attention, as it has a direct impact on the health and development of children. The dire conditions faced by displaced people negatively affect the ability of mothers to provide for their children’s basic nutritional needs. In this regard, the Kurdish Red Crescent began distributing baby milk to displaced families from Al-Shahba and Aleppo within the city of Raqqa and Tabqa, and later to include all other cities in northern and eastern Syria.
