A Study of Problems Faced

The present study was conducted in District Faisalabad. Multistage sampling technique was used for data collection. At the first stage two institutions (Govt. Special Education Center Jaranwala and Govt. Special Education Center Tandianwala) were selected purposively. At the second stage a list of rural disabled children s mothers from the school record was prepared. At the third stage 120 mothers (60 from each institute) were selected randomly from the list. Data were collected with the help of a well-designed interview schedule. It was found that most of the respondents belonged to low income families. It is concluded that the cousin marriage is a cause of disability among children. Some children were going to school willingly. It was found that the mothers faced different problems from their disabled children pick and drop (65.8%), teaching (79.8%), lack of interest in education (47.5%), helpless hopeless (72.5%), lack of confidence (64%), loneliness (75%) irritable and short tempered (88.3%) and mobility (77.5%). It was found also that the family members had helpful behaviour, whereas majority of the other people had teasing behaviour with the disabled persons.
