“…As for children aged 2–4 years old, the respondent is a different individual other than the children themselves, so there might remain a gap. 46 In addition to that, since data were collected through the interview method on a stigmatized topic, there might be reporting bias.…”

Background Functional difficulties in children can be transmitted from mother to child, which is a major concern. We sought to determine whether there was a correlation between a mother's functional difficulty and functional difficulty in kids between the ages of 2–4 and 5–17. We also want to evaluate other fundamental aspects that influence on child's functionality. Methods We used Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) data sets. For two different age groups, the children's difficulty status was evaluated. The sociodemographic factors served as explanatory variables in this study. We used χ 2 tests and survey logistic regression models to analyze the data. Results Functional difficulties were less common in children aged 2–4 years (2.78%) but 8.27% in those aged 5–17 years. The study specifies that the mother's functional difficulty (odds ratio [OR]: 2.66, confidence interval [CI]: 1.35–5.24 for children aged 2–4 years and OR: 3.36, CI: 2.80–4.03 for children aged 5–17 years) were significantly associated with the functional difficulty of both age groups' children. Not attending early childhood education programs (OR: 1.89, CI: 1.16–3.10 for children aged 2–4 years and OR: 2.66, CI: 2.19–3.22 for children aged 5–17 years) and divisions were also significantly affecting the functional difficulty of both age groups' children. Moreover, area of residence and gender were significant factors for the older age group. Conclusions The prevalence of difficulty among children in Bangladesh is high. Children's functional difficulty, regardless of age, is greatly influenced by the functional difficulty of their mothers, their absence from early childhood education programs, and divisions. Reducing the prevalence of child functioning difficulties will be more successful if the government and NGOs consider these factors while developing appropriate intervention programs.

“…The survey revealed a 9.2% prevalence of children aged 6–12 years with at least one type of disability which is slightly higher (8.8%) than an Egyptian study that was done in four governorates of Egypt [ 12 ]. The Global Burden of Disease estimates childhood disability prevalence to be 95 million (5.1%) children [ 27 ]. While UNICEF's global disability prevalence estimates indicated that the Middle East region has one of the highest prevalence rates of children with disabilities between the ages of 5 and 17 by 16.9% [ 28 ].…”

“…Going to school significantly decreased the odds to have all disabilities [ 27 ]. In this study, children who didn’t go to school were most likely to be diagnosed with any disability with a prevalence of 23.7% which was significantly three times higher than the prevalence among children going to school.…”

“…The same odds were found in a study that was done in Saudi Arabia claiming that low maternal educational level influenced the risk of disability mainly the visual one [ 42 ]. Low education level of parents is associated with decreased awareness of healthy developmental growth, and ways to improve children's intellectual development [ 27 ]. The present study found that unemployed mothers were significantly affecting the odds of having a child disability by more than one time (COR = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.1–1.5).…”

Aim This study aimed to determine the prevalence of disability domains among Egyptian children in the age group of 6–12 years as well as assess their socio-demographic, epidemiological, and perinatal predictors. Methods A national population-based cross-sectional household survey targeting 20,324 children from eight governorates was conducted. The screening questionnaire was derived from the WHO ten-question survey tool validated for the identification of disabilities. Results The prevalence of children with at least one type of disability was 9.2%. Learning/ comprehension was the most prevalent type (4.2%), followed by speech/communication (3.7%), physical/ mobility and seizures (2.2% for each), intellectual impairment (1.5%), visual (0.7%), and hearing (0.4%). The commonest predictors for disabilities were children who suffered from convulsions or cyanosis after birth and maternal history of any health problem during pregnancy. However, preterm and low birth weight (LBW) babies or being admitted to incubators for more than two days were strong predictors for all disabilities except hearing disability. A history of jaundice after birth significantly carried nearly twice the odds for seizures (AOR = 2.2, 95% CI:1.5–3.4). History of difficult labor was a predictor of intellectual impairment (AOR = 1.5, 95% CI:1.1–2.0). A disabled mother was a strong predictor for all disabilities except seizures, while a disabled father was a predictor for visual and learning/ comprehension disabilities (AOR = 3.9, 95% CI:2.2–7.1 & AOR = 1.6, 95% CI:1.1–2.4 respectively). Meanwhile, both higher maternal and paternal education decreased significantly the odds to have, physical/ mobility and Learning/ comprehension by at least 30%. Conclusion The study found a high prevalence of disability among Egyptian children aged 6–12 years. It spotted many modifiable determinants of disability domains. The practice of early screening for disability is encouraged to provide early interventions.

“…Hannah Thompson's benchmark état present of Disability Studies in French literature raises awareness of a neglected field and one which is not institutionally recognised in France. 21 Nevertheless, it firmly equates disability with physical disability. In an important study in the neglected subfields within Disability Studies, Stuart Murray in Representing Autism: Culture, Narrative, Fascination, laments the invisibility of autism and other cognitive disorders in the emerging field of Disability Studies: 'The centrality that the body occupies in contemporary disability studies that focus on narrative is nearly ubiquitous'.…”

Homelessness, Disability and Education in Delphine de Vigan’s Coming-of-Age Narrative No et moi

Delphine de Vigan’s No et moi is a coming-of-age narrative which textually re-enacts the marginalization of the homeless No as her voice is appropriated into the first-person narrative of the precocious middle-class thirteen-year-old Lou, who persuades her parents to take No into their home. I argue that the marginalization of issues about social exclusion is systematically reinforced by the school system. Although No et moi features on literature syllabuses for both the baccalauréat in France and A Level in the UK, the text itself highlights a lack of pupil engagement with the school programme and challenges the privileging of abstract knowledge over self-development and engagement with contemporary social issues. I argue that the text makes a contribution to Disability Studies and is representative of Alexandre Gefen’s therapeutic turn in twenty-first-century French literature, whereby empathy and care for others can help us overcome our own disabilities and challenges, in this case what presents as autism.
