Disabled children not only suffer from disability associated health impairment, but also face other health challenges similar to typically developing children, such as overweight and obesity, oral health problems, eye conditions, mental health problems, sleep problems as well as harm. Similar with typical development children, growth and development period is a critical period for the physical and mental development of disabled children. Timely, appropriate, and continuous hygiene and health services provided during childhood according to the different needs of disabled children, can effectively stimulate their own compensatory mechanisms, enabling them to achieve better rehabilitation effects and higher health levels.
