  • Summary

  • Every society expects that its children will grow up to be capable and responsible citizens who contribute to the well-being of their communities. Many children are denied the rights that would enable them to survive and develop to their potential. Children cope daily with violence and abuse. Some work long hours at jobs that are damaging to their health and education. Too many are denied access to school, and suffer preventable diseases and malnutrition. Environmental damage takes the largest toll on children; discrimination denies many their basic rights. The denial of basic rights is not only the cause of personal suffering; it also sows the seeds of political and social unrest. Rights issues touch everyone, everywhere. Children’s right is including their right to association with both parents, human identity as well as the basic needs for physical protection, food, universal state-paid education, health care, and criminal laws appropriate for the age and development of the child, equal protection of the child's civil rights, and freedom. Also Children’s rights are human rights. Children must be treated with equality, respect and dignity, not because they are "the future" or the "adults of tomorrow", but because they are human beings today. All humans are born inherent with fundamental freedoms and rights. A child with disability might need an orbit reader, braille machine or any other equipment that can assist them in their learning but because of how they are somehow expansive, then we consider them as wants instead of being needs. In absence of providing such materials because we consider them as something not so needed, children with disabilities will end up in a struggle in their education.  Without knowing that it is their needs though some of them might be taken as wants in some eyes of viewers.  Hence school staff while planning to support the education of children with disabilities in mainstream schools or special schools or inclusive schools, better to noticed that there is where what we consider as a wants becomes a needs for children with disabilities or learning disabilities and plan how we can meet those needs so that they will be able to learn effectively like others do.
