The rights of the disabled child: online legal seminars for parents
Raising a disabled child is a profound journey filled with love, but it often comes with unique challenges. Parents may find themselves juggling demanding care needs, navigating countless appointments with doctors and therapists, and dealing with financial uncertainties. The added pressure of advocating for crucial support — from securing benefits and equipment to obtaining proper education, social care, and healthcare — can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with bureaucratic hurdles.
