It is in the nature of human beings to need guidance and direction in their public and private affairs, especially those with special needs. Every person is exposed to psychological, practical, and social pressures, requiring someone to guide and direct them towards the best and most appropriate actions.

God created man in the best form, but occasionally, an unfortunate family is afflicted when one of its children suffers a disability in one of their senses or abilities, marring this beautiful image. With this tragedy that turns a child into one with special needs deserving of help, it becomes the duty of the family, institutions, associations, and specialized centers in special education to stand by this child, regardless of their disability. They must offer all kinds of material and moral assistance so the child can overcome or coexist with their disability and become a well-adjusted, productive, and beneficial individual to themselves and their community.

Often, families of individuals with special needs face a host of specific problems while trying to adapt. At the same time, these families are vulnerable to the pressures and tensions faced by every family in contemporary societies, and often the specialists trying to help these families lack the necessary knowledge on this subject.

It is important to state that the parents of a child with special needs also have the right to material and, more importantly, moral support. Many families feel a deep sense of guilt and shame for having a child with special needs, sometimes to the point of hiding them from society, which is unfortunately termed 'social shame'.

The acceptance of a child with special needs by society and its institutions, starting with the family, without condescension or false pity, is the first step in providing real help. We must work together towards the supreme goal of viewing them with high regard, without shame, and without differentiating between them and able-bodied individuals. We must strive together to achieve the principle of inclusion in all its forms to realize the principle of equality.
