Disability, with the psychological and social crises it causes within the family or when comparing an individual to their peers, creates significant challenges. Many questions revolve around the potential of individuals with special needs and their ability to perform tasks required of them as members of society. With the development of special education, some are no longer entirely dependent on others; they can perform many vital roles if properly trained and rehabilitated.

A child with special needs is defined as a child whose performance deviates significantly from what is considered normal—whether mentally, sensorially, emotionally, or socially—in a way that requires educational services different from those provided to an ordinary child. Children with special needs require special education and services. Some individuals have more than one disability and are referred to as having multiple disabilities.

The group of individuals with multiple disabilities requires specialized studies that differ from those concerning a single disability, as there are differences in researching their needs, programs, and the methods and strategies for dealing with them. This field has not received sufficient attention in previous studies and requires deeper exploration to understand their characteristics, identify their most important needs, and learn how to interact with them.

In this book, you will find comprehensive information derived from scientific research and previous studies on the nature of multiple disabilities, the needs of individuals with multiple disabilities, and the improvement of services provided to this group. The aim is to help fill the gap in knowledge, spread awareness, clarify their physical, educational, social, and emotional needs, and provide information that assists specialists in special education centers and the families of individuals with multiple disabilities on how to deal with, educate, and care for them through programs specially designed for this population.
