Understanding Inclusive Development for Individuals with Multiple Disabilities Smita Tiwary Ojha<p>Individuals with multiple disabilities face a greater challenge due to a combination of various disabilities across the world. It not only poses a challenge to the parents but also to the professionals who work with them regularly in any educational or rehabilitation set-ups across the world. Any individual with multiple disabilities should receive professional help as early as possible, so that the individual can be helped to achieve their potential. Such individuals will not be developing as other individuals with similar age groups due to various reasons and might have difficulty in generalizing due to various reasons. It’s important that we, as professionals, set up realistic goals that are small and achievable, as such individuals can learn and achieve only in small steps with a lot of practice and repetition.&nbsp;</p><p>Individuals with multiple disabilities have shown issues with all muscle movement, with understanding, and often with seeing and hearing as well. Communication is very difficult for them. Often, we as professionals may not know how much an individual with multiple disabilities understands, and the attempts to communicate may be unfamiliar to us and may pass unnoticed. So, due to various reasons, some professionals might wrongly label such individuals. As professionals, we must try our best to provide such an individual’s understanding and expression in order to ensure a proper diagnosis. This article focuses on the study of inclusion of individuals with multiple disabilities and will provide a road map for understanding inclusive development for individuals with multiple disabilities, both in various countries, along with India.</p> Annals of Psychiatry and Treatment - Peertechz Publications 2026-04-15 Mini Review https://doi.org/10.17352/apt.000069 en Copyright © Smita Tiwary Ojha et al.
