Synopsis:

This 2022 updated printing of Disabled Village Children features topics including

  • identifying primary and secondary disabilities
  • skills for daily living
  • polio, cerebral palsy, juvenile arthritis, and muscular dystrophy
  • fun and useful therapy techniques
  • and low-cost rehabilitation aids and adaptations for home and community
All Hesperian books are regularly updated and reprinted to reflect accurate medical information.


Disabled Village Children contains a wealth of clear and detailed information, as well as easy-to-implement strategies for all who are concerned about the well-being of children with disabilities. This manual, written especially for those who live in communities with limited resources, explains how to create small community rehabilitation centers and workshops run by either disabled people or the families of children with disabilities. More than 4000 drawings and 200 photos make Disabled Village Children understandable to all.
