Clinical Psychological Analysis of the Handicapped/Disabled

Open access
Handicap/Disability remains a debilitating condition for the disabled/ handicapped and the caregivers, as they have to live and manage the condition in their life time (handicapped/disabled). The condition that affects motor ability, communicating ability, vision, thoughts, cognition, understanding, self-care, social interactions, education, usage of community amenities, self hygiene has both biological and environmental causes. Being a lifetime condition makes the management of this disability quite expensive, demanding the need for Government at various levels to take charge (management) of cases diagnosed as handicap/disability. This study x-rayed the etiology of major developmental crisis that mostly results in handicaps/disabilities, clinical psychological management and expected Government roles in the education, prevention, and management of the debilitating condition.
