It should be added that funding for one child with a disability is several times higher than subsidies for children with disabilities. At the same time, he needs no less attention, effort, food and special equipment.

Crucial in the successful adaptation of a child with a disability is the relationship between parents and educators. The common people are sometimes shocked by the appearance and behavior of difficult children, but for parents such a child is the most talented, wonderful person. If society learns to perceive such children freely, without being labeled “other”, with boundless love and care, then it will become much richer from the achievements and contribution to the life of the planet of special little fighters for success.
