I personally am constantly aware of the great need that children with physical and/or mental disabilities have. Awareness towards children with disabilities is often overlooked and taken for granted. Many times it is easy to overlook because the things we without disabilities take for granted may be impossible or difficult to a person with a disability especially a child. Too often do children suffer unnecessarily when all they need is a kind helping hand or maybe just a word of encouragement spoken to them.

If one were to stop and think how great the needs are for children with disabilities and not rely or assume that all their needs are being taken care of, then a child that may be helpless physically or mentally would benefit tremendously if we take a part in helping them!

Could a kind act of kindness on our part change a child's life? YES, of course it takes three very important things to becoming aware of the needs of all children with disabilities...

#1. Identifying their needs based on the child's disability.

#2. Speak to the child's parents and/or caregiver what short term and long term needs the child may have.

#3. After assessing the needs of the child, take part in helping or contributing either your time and/or money so that a disabled child may be able to live a more happier life!

This is true awareness!

Talk is cheap when it comes to a child's well being, actions speak louder then words. Let's all do our part in promoting true awareness by taking care of all disabled children around the world!
